Everything is quiet at the seashore, except the endless silvery waves lapping hungrily at the sand, and then receding like an ever-swinging pendulum, perpetually. The sea is indistinguishable from the sky at the horizon, except the sea is slightly creased as if a silky cloth has wrinkles on it. The palm trees sway gracefully following the soft rhythm of the breeze, enjoying deeply and mesmerized by the lullaby sung by the sea. The air is filled with the tangy taste of brine and the tropical heat is bathed with the soothing coolness of the breeze. The general atmosphere is one of tranquility.
The sea is my safe house. I feel at peace whenever I look at the sea. The breeze is like my mother’s arms, gently cuddling me with warmth, comforting me whenever I am upset, depressed and hurt by anything around me. As I listen, the breeze whispers to me, encouraging me to be tougher, armed me with strength and force to fight against any tiny, or even gigantic obstacles in my life. As I walk along the shore, my bare feet sink softly into the sand and within a few seconds, the footprints are soon effaced by the waves. It is like the waves have carried and effaced all the worries, anxieties and grieves that had once etched my mind.
It melts the sorrows and fears that haunted me. The birds are chirping away on the trees nearby. One bird chirps high up, another chirps lower down. The joyful melody of the birds is slowly draining away the irritating thoughts and grieves from my mind. Looking and listening to the sea is certainly refreshes and invigorates a person. It gives me renewed energy to face life and its enormous challenges!
Shhhhh… Listen quietly…..
