Hi all. So this morning I needed to go shopping, which wouldn't be so bad in itself, except with world events at this moment in time , as in coronavirus , it's daunting to even go through the doors, wondering whether they have any toilet rolls ...yet !! But I also know and appreciate the fact that I am so lucky because in order to get to the store , I can walk along the beach. This morning I did just that. The tide was just going out. The sand was smooth... Perfect... Un-touched... Until I put my clumsy feet on it!!! But that's the point.. no other marks...no footprints, no dog paw marks. Just mine. It did make me think of the "footprints" verse...which I love... But it made me think more of being like Robinson Crusoe on my very own island, in my very own existence...and that was a lovely feeling.. just me , myself , I , at that moment in time.....

I'll be at the beach soon also, minding my own business. I was thinking about that yesterday. :)

Love your post Elfin. I can image how your charming walk on the beach was peaceful and soothing - - - and a great escape (mentally/spiritually) from our toilet tissue driven societies!! There is something about the vastness and mystery of the ocean that helps put life in perspective. Nature is a healing teacher.

Ahhh thank you feather...it doesn't take much does it for one to "escape"... To experience the peace..if only for a moment , on a deserted beach, a wild meadow, a stream...heaven!!! But even i at this moment in time have to ask .." where exactly HAVE all the toilet rolls gone!!!!! Bless you.

I Love the beach but im nowhere near one.where i live i am surrounded by Mountains, fields and woods,
I used to love just siting on a fallen tree in the woods being at one with Nature.

Namaste

To be at peace even in the mist of chaos.

Hi.. and we can always have a moment of peace. Many people feel they dont have " time" for peace because life is too busy...there is always time..

I love the views of lake Michigan and the forest around me but often dream of laying in the middle of a real prairie. Just to soak up the sun and hearing the grasses in the breeze. I really have to head out west again. Was west 4 years ago. It's a wonderful place too. You can Walk around and not get eaten by mosquitos.
