The skies are bright again but the mind knows no relief. I
am bleary eyed, ridden with insomnia and a doubtful mind; I look for a quick
out from the mundaneness. Sometimes, escapism brings a great joy, calmness and
clarity of mind. Introspection, I call it. As I have said many times in this blog, ocean
and beaches is my favourite spot when riddled with the various obscurities of
life. The beauty of the ocean, its greatness, the sound of waves lashing against
the rocks calms me, uplifts me, inspires me, awes me and definitely humbles me.
With the rays of sun slowly teasing my senses and my heart
fluttering at the prospect of yet another new discovery I step out hopeful and
head towards Southsea beach in the water front city of Portsmouth. The sea comes in many tantalizing forms as I discovered.
Here there is no sand but the beach is made of many different types of stones,
scattered and littered. I gingerly walk on them collecting some which catch my
attention. They are pink, jade, sea green and some with a bit of sea weed on
them. Aaah…the joys of finding something new out! Life would be so much more
interesting if each day was different than the last.
In the horizon, somewhere
where the sky meets the sea line, I see piers. There are two piers, I am told.
The south parade pier and the Clarence Pier; the sites are now amusement centers.
But to me from this distance the sight looks like a picture perfect postcard
evoking great wonderment.
People come and go. Some are running, some are cycling, and
many are flying kites. It lends an added charm to this already wonderful
tapestry. As for me, I am once again lost in my bubble. I am at the safe place
where the sea and its waves is my biggest comfort. Once again, the sea has
succeeded in wrapping me around its safe arms. I feel uplifted, a tiny smile
plays on my lips and the former frown lines are disappearing. The sea whispers
to me to march on with head held high and that everything will be alright.
The dark clouds which were hovering around me are long gone
and I am at a beautiful, happy place.
Just me, my thoughts and of course the ever calming sea.
sea affects me the same way... its the only place that never changes... and makes u feel humble ... the vastness of sea makes u forget those pebble like problems harboring in your heart... i feel calm, free and most of all natures most loved human being cos the sea makes you feel ur the only one there to bask in its beauty and the waves give all their attention to you :)
