I sit here in the sand looking out at the vast sea, so full and so big. Finally, I have this feeling of peace. On the beach side of Catalina Island.
I hear the birds and the sound of the water hitting the rocks and sand. They are the only noises for miles out. This kind of silence is what clears my brain, makes me relax, gives me peace. It is a comforting feeling.
Watching as the sun slowly hides behind this vast ocean I look over. This ocean is so immensely huge, it swallows everything around with its size. I feel like an ant, so small and unimportant to this world. My mind is empty in this silence as I look at the one other thing I find peace in.
The sunset and the clouds passing ahead. The sun making everything around you gold, orange, and pink. The way the clouds float and are free and move and change. I wish I could stay in this moment forever,
With no worries. No pain. Just peace. This is where I feel truly at home.
Not staying out with friends. Not in my room or the bustle of my town. But sitting and watching as the sky changes a million times. Sunsets in the silence are my true peace.
"It is almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream." Bernard Williams
