Return to the beach not to normal life
Description (Dublin Core)
I wish I could explain the emotion that was felt the moment this picture was taken. When Covid first came about and the city began to shut down, it was the ocean that gave people in my city comort.
I live in a small beach town in San Diego county. Surfing and going to the beach is an everyday thing. The ocean to many in the area is our church. The beach and the ocean is where we go to celebrate, to think, to heal our hearts after a break up. Being with our toes in the sand gives some of us strength more than breathing.
When Covid happened we all lost our life source when they closed the beach. They first closed the beach to staying tanning and sitting and reading. This was a hard adjustment as going to the beach to meditate and talk to the universe and set my intentions and manifestations was something I have done almost daily for 35 years. But it was okay, we could still walk the beach and we could still feel the toes in our sand and feel the waves crashing against our legs.
The day they closed the beach, it started to rain and it rained for days. Its as if the universe and the Gods all felt our loss. This past month being stuck in the house has been so feeling like being in a bucket of lobsters and they are all struggling to get out.
Its funny to think just some sand and some water can have such an affect on a person.
As I type this I have tears streaming down my face and I can remember that beautiful moment yesterday when finally getting back to the beach.
The moment my toes touched the sand and felt the water, it was as though it was easier to breathe. In speaking and keeping social distancing to some of the surfers and locals around and about, I discovered that I was not the only one that felt that way.
So many people see the ocean and the beach as their church, their religion, the thing that gives them strength, hope, courage and comfort. The ocean is like a giant warm hug with side of hot cocoa.
The water looks so brown and gross I know, but if you check out the waves at the beach at night, this is the time when the waves show off their bilolumencent glow! At night its a beautiful mixture of glowing blue, purple and white. Such a great reward from mother nature for enduring the time away.
