I mean, I can’t say I didn’t expect to observe, but sometimes it gets REALLY boring. It’s only been a couple of weeks, but I’m starting to understand how the beings on this planet live their life. It's very simple.
Earlier this week, I found a small path that led me down the cliff to the ocean. Standing on the beach for the first time… it was unreal.
I always wanted to touch the sand, feel the waves up close. But as I stood there, a strange tension started rising in my body, beginning at my chest, tightening with every breath. I was scared. Being at this eye level, next to this endless ocean, it felt like it could swallow me whole at any moment.
The water was this clear turquoise that looked almost see-through, and the sun made it sparkle. The waves twisted and spiraled as they rolled in, and the sound was this low, steady hum. The sand was golden and warm under my feet. Watching it all, I felt at peace like nothing else existed except this moment. It was perfect. The ocean was huge and scary… but at the same time, kind of hypnotizing, I couldn't look away.
I probably won’t go back, at least not anytime soon… way too scary. But from my treehouse, I can watch it from afar and let it calm me down from a distance.
