Spending time on a beach and watching the tide's imprint on the sand allows time to rest & a reset. Wading and wondering, I found myself being able to observe the way nature can support well-being.
I find this poem by Kendall Berry inspiring, I hope you can feel the freedom too.
The Peace Of Wild Things, By Wendall Berry
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
