Smell the Sea and hear the Wind

Open views in Castricum aan Zee

Run, Run, Run - the wind is blowing from behind. Faster than ever, competing with the waves, we will try to reach to disappearing point, far away. Everything seems to end there, but it will be a new beginning before we start to look for the next unknown stations. 



Do we come back to the old journeys and stations, do we remember the people we met and talked or even loved during those years? We will slow the phase, wonder in our thoughts. The rush and noice will stay behind. The Sea will whisper with the force of wind, bring the new tastes and smells from far away. This gives space for our mind and we will feel free and almost like reborn, full of new ideas and energy. 


All seems to be more simple and clear in sudden moments, the scale of our existence gets bigger. We will come out from the small space of routines and habits. We are out, like the first people at this beach...so we like to think. It is not true, but we want to keep all possibilities of our fantasy spread and open. The information, the instincts of our Ancestors and the wisdom from those millions and more lives. We are carrying some keys to those elements deep in our system, in our genes. We are survivors. That is so much admired these days, whole tv-series made from the modern Robinsons. But life is not a game, life is real and goes on without the last person on the board. The biggest struggles are often suffered in silence and the change for better comes from our heart and making decisions.


Lost. left and found. The left overs from the beach life in  2017.


Tomorrow will be the last day of 2017. It is time to make a little break and think of what happened. So many positive things and memories, also some struggle and black days -like every year. Still, every period of our life is different and that period makes us see the reality differently, making us go further on our development. Sometimes we don't recognize the person we were before, but without that person we would not be at this point. We are full of details and nuances and this world is a living evidence how everything is connected. It feels good to see and feel the presence of the Nature, it is balancing and feeding our mind, making us more active.

It was great to watch the grass constantly in motion at the windy beach.


Listening to the roam of the Sea and smelling the breeze. The best end for this year. Walking at the beach, feeling like a child again. Finding the joy from the details and from the simplicity. The only wise advice I can give is that we must go outside and enjoy the world and the Nature even more. And before doing or saying something, think of the possible effects of your actions to your environment and the people around. Let the gentle breeze of the wind be your personal advisor in every critical moment that comes on your way.





Happy New Year !!


Meeting the Foam. 


The North Sea Fish soup was a perfect dish for a windy day.
