SEA BREEZE AND A CUP OF TEA

 

Sea breeze, lofty skies, scattered shells, sand cushions and a cup of steaming tea!

I doubt whether anyone would ever find this combination not therapeutic enough for all the unspoken burdens of life. This retreat is more than just an energy booster. It calms the mind, fixes our broken thoughts, and even gives clarity over many doubts and insecurities especially because the very ambience of a seaside gives us a space to think freely. Just like the far stretched horizon which is not clamped by any boundaries, our thoughts travel too, across limits and boundaries

At the shore you find people from all walks of life, from fishermen risking life with the multicolored boats, riding into the center of the sea, to young boys at ease with a spirited game of soccer. And from souls interlocked with love, dreaming of a charming life to begin with, to men with greyed hairs and hearts brimming with experiences, sharing endless stories with their peers. From lonely visitors who just sit back gazing, to groups of children who are busy making sand sculptures. There, you find people reflecting about the tides of life just as the tides of sea move back and forth, again and again! 

Even though that was a bit poetical description of the sights that are often seen at the seashore, they just appear as in a frame and leaves you with so many thoughts and artistic expressions that it becomes hard for a logophile not to put it into words.

Seaside is often the only place where such diverse mixtures of human life mingle. People from all categories of life share a single space at a moment of time and leaves. It dazzles you. And above all, at least for a split second, it pushes us to the remembrance of a creator behind this spectacular vision and leaves us with the question ‘how?!’ 

         

As an icing on the cake, a cup of hot tea adds favor to the whole experience of a beach story. If you haven’t yet experienced that, I would say: “Just try!”. As you sit sipping tea with life in all forms and outfits buzzling around you, life becomes beautiful for a moment. Just for a moment.

And amidst all the chaos, it brings tears.

Tears of happiness!
