I have always loved the sea and lived most of my life near it, but only during Covid did I realize it’s my true soul-reviver. Once I understood that, I started going there every morning and so it became my “sea ceremony.” It’s the first and only habit I’ve ever been able to stick to in the mornings—and so far, I’m sticking to it.
Every morning I see how the sky looks different and the water changes color. Waves come and go, dirt comes and goes, people, birds, fish, and jellyfish too. Sometimes it’s rainy and windy and I’m all by myself, and some days the sun burns my nose, and the beach is full of people. But every morning, no matter how good or bad I feel, the sea is there, helps me pause, look around, and remember that everything changes and it’s all alive and beautiful.
