I have so many paths to walk, so many trails to choose from, so many landscapes to enjoy and so many beautiful views to appreciate that there isn't enough time in the world, but I'll try to do as much as I can.
That's what I was thinking during this walk, as I walked along a low path very close to a somewhat remote beach where there are few people, and in this case almost none, perhaps because of the heat at that time of day. But remember that now I have my bottle of ice-cold water, and I'm happy with it. It's ideal for these walks and for enjoying life.
I love the sea, not since I started loving it, but I love water itself, the source of life, and without it there would be nothing on this earth, it would be like complete aridity. I wonder if people ever think about that, about how wonderful nature is, about how much it gives us.
I love watching the sea foam break against the rocks or slide as if caressing the sand. The shapes it draws are beautiful and unique; no two are alike, just as no two moments in life are alike. I often compare my walks to things in life. Look at the beauty of the foam, the colour of the water, I am fascinated by the smell of the sea, that beautiful salty water.
Seeing the colours of the sea on the horizon and admiring the sun as it reflects on it, I always try to capture everything with my eyes. How important the senses are, all of them, in being able to perceive the smallest details, and when you are in nature in silence, it seems that the senses are heightened, far from the noise of the city.
The rocks I found on my way also have their charm. Some eroded by the sea, others by the air, they acquire very beautiful shapes over time and change, adapting. How important it is to change to improve situations or adapt. Knowing how to change and choosing to change is very brave, because it is not easy. The rocks undergo a whole process where they can even lose parts.
I went down for a moment to be in direct contact with that foam, with the water that comes to give life and caress the sand, and for my feet to feel those beautiful textures while I admired everything from that angle. When you change your angle or perspective, things can be very different. That is what life and nature have taught me. There is no better walk for me than being in the middle of a natural environment. I am also passionate about art, but nature has more benefits for me. I wish people would realise that.
After a while, I climbed up to a place where there were trees, mainly palm and olive trees. The sea was now a little behind me, but the landscape was also incredible.
I climbed a little higher to visit a higher path, where I was welcomed by large rocks where the sun rested to warm them, and the view of the sea from there was amazing. I liked seeing the sun on one side with its reflection.
I continued walking with the giant rocks on my right and the sea on my left. There was no one around, just the sound of the breeze and the waves crashing against the rocks.
I saw some flowers along the way, which I love. They are like a warm splash of colour amid the browns and blues.
At that point, the path looked beautiful. I could feel the tiny pebbles under my feet and hear the sound they made when I walked on them.
Every now and then, I stopped to take in views like this one.
And others further away, with the sun behind me, a more panoramic view.
Here, the paths made me decide.
But before that, I looked back at the path I had travelled and the sea.
It was a beautiful walk, with warmth and sunshine, but surrounded by nature, very relaxing, paying attention only to my senses and in silence, which is the best way to perceive the environment and its wonders.
Thank you very much for accompanying me on this Wednesday walk. Best regards. See you soon.
