You walk towards the sea with an unsettled mind,
feeling the wind through your hair,
the small waves bubbling up at your feet.
Then you stop to take in everything,
take that moment in.
As of answering your call,
the ocean embraces you with a big wave.
Knee-deep in the water,
the water that's all around you,
the sea stretching as far as the eyes can see,
you feel like you are right in the middle of the great ocean.
The time stops then and there, you get absorbed to that one moment.
All your senses sensing the sea and the sea only.
Forgetting everything around you,
everything that's inside you.
A moment of complete oblivion.
Only when that wave recedes, washing off the sand under your feet,
you stumble back into reality.
It's those little moments that count,
those that crumble up your problems to the size of a small sea shell,
those that remind you that you are still alive.
The moments of reassurance.

How can something so strong bring so much peace to the mind?
