i miss the sea. at sunset.

cottesloe beach, perth WA

"the crashing waves. the damp sand. the cool breeze. the warm sunshine. the sense of peace one gets when one sits there, especially at sunset, looking out across the ocean. time alone there has always been good for me. whenever i'm at a loss of what to do, whenever i feel sad, whenever i just need to be by myself, that is where i'll go. just by sitting there, taking in everything that is free for anyone who enjoys it, can have a strangely calming effect on the mind and soul. although the sun sets, you know that it will come up strongly once again. and suddenly you realise that its the same with life. nothing is ever too bad, too terrible, for one to give up hope. that is why i miss going there. i miss the sea. at sunset."
