living in the modern world can be so overwhelming at times that one's mind and body can begin to disintegrate or disassemble to the extent that measures must be taken to avoid completely falling apart. in my experience, sauntering in natural surroundings such as old forests helps considerably. but the best remedy i know is to head for the rocky seashore in the sunshine. i seek out those special places that reveal just how bad my condition is. i don't try to fight or deny it i look straight at it and acknowledge the reality. then i move on to a place where there's a clear view of the horizon with the sky on top and the sea below.
up is up and down is down. it is the most calming and healing view i know of and one of the reasons i choose to live by the sea. focusing on that simple horizon brings order to my perspective and things begin to refind their proper place and after a short while i am whole again, at least for a while...
