Taking a moment the morning before travelling back home to greet the greek sun and the aegean sea goodbye just listening to nature’s morning melody 🐚 🌞 🌊
I remember thinking that with all the turmoil in the world, feeling so grounded and full of inner peace is one of the things I am grateful for every single day. A luxury I know not all of us can have. But it’s a personal choice I make on a daily basis - because I get to make it. Looking out into the ocean and knowing somewhere on the other end of it there is so much “bad”… war, and hate, and too many beautiful lives being lost for all sorts of reasons, and here I am feeling unable to do very much about it except feel the weight of pain in our world bearing down on me. But I get to choose whether it affects the inner fabric of my being. And I choose to remain soft, and calm, and full of hope that the world is and can be a better place. And I will always take the opportunity to throw back as much “good” into the world as I can. Even if it feels like throwing water droplets onto an ever growing wildfire.
