I FELT LIKE IT WAS A DAY AT THE BEACH
THE BEACH EXERTS STRENGTH OF THE SOUL;
The beach embodies the strength of the soul. Open spaces, the connection with nature, the ebb and flow of the tide, and the cleansing elements—the sun, sea salt, and grains of sand—leave their mark on your skin. After a day at the beach, you might shower, but this isn’t just about cleansing your body. It’s about rinsing away the surface remnants of nourishment gained from aligning with nature. What you’ve absorbed goes deeper, fuelling you beyond the physical.
WRAPPED IN A FOREST BLANKET
Imagine a leisurely forest walk after leaving the beach and before heading home. The trees, with their lush green leaves and intricate brown branches, offer a unique beauty. Each tree is like a fingerprint—distinct yet part of a larger pattern. Their sturdy trunks, with their weathered bark, symbolise strength and resilience, protecting a sensitive, intricate system within.
OBSERVING
As you walk, notice how the trees extend from their base to their delicate tops, swaying gently in the ocean breeze. Their branches stretch out, reaching as far as they can, much like when you stand and stretch, trying to occupy every inch of space with your body. Trees do this gracefully, allowing each one to stand tall and expansive while respecting the space of others. As you move through the forest, the trees acknowledge you, recognising you as part of nature with the salt on your skin, sun-kissed glow, and sand between your toes.
BEING SEEN
You are welcomed as one of them, and you sense an invitation to expand just as they do. The sea demonstrates this expansion with every wave, reaching and stretching along the shore, embodying the essence of a wave and the ocean’s boundless space.
The shore, the beach, the sand—all embrace this expansion from the sea and invite a co-creation of space. Leaving the beach, you shower away the day’s remnants but carry with you a sense of being included, complete, expansive, and welcomed just as you are.
