By the sea of life.

I always stand by the beach, gazing at the sea in admiration. It is a wonderful teacher. Like anything else in nature it has life, it has moods and it is a mystery just like life is. When life becomes mundane in the sea of life, you feel you just want to get out somewhere in solitude alone with your thoughts so that you can gather yourself up again, the sea never fails to inspire, soothe and heal.

The sea is different early mornings and in the evenings. In the evenings the beach sand has two slopes at two different levels. But in the mornings the waves comes up to the top of the second slope formed by the sand. It is really intriguing to think of it and how the shores too change due to the waves and co-exist. The waves too frolic and spray as they collide against each other. The spray of water after a point of time creates a hazy view. The sea is so unpredictable, so is man. The mind and the sea are alike. The sea with all its moods, I feel has a soothing effect on the soul. My evenings pass by with my observing the sky and sea waves, trying to understand their changes.

The sea is beautiful, dangerous, fascinating, awe inspiring and endless. The ocean as a whole is a calming blue. But as soon as a wave begins to take form, green lifts up underneath it. It  brings  great understanding to my life. I let the wind mess up my hair, bring a chill to my skin and breathe fresh air on my mind. Sometimes that’s all we need—fresh air, and nature around to make you feel weightless. When you look at the horizon have you ever noticed if you look down a hallway or a road, the end seems to come to a smaller point but with the ocean, it’s endless. It’s wide, vast and never-ending.

It reminds me of the possibilities in life—that I should never feel too big or too small. I am me, and I prefer to be just me in this vast wide world of mine.
