Walking on the beach at sunset

To calm the mind, body and spirit, there are few other things that can match an evening walk by the sea.

Walking on the sand at a brisk pace,looking at the sea changing colours, inhlaing the combined aromas of sea, salt and sand.... and then.... that particular moment when the sun starts to set.

And in just a few moments, one can see the orange-gold hue that comes over the sea, and the sky, only to become darker by the minute. The sun, which was gradually dipping into the water, suddenly seemes to tip right over, and before you know it, it's gone.Into the water perhaps? The mind can conjure up all sorts of possibilities, and in that,lies the enjoyment of the whole thing.

And once that moment has passed, one completes the walk, looking forward to the next thing.... A cup of tea and some freshly popped corn, at the beachside kiosks.

Life's small pleasures...
