"The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood and the sound of outer ocean on a beach"-Henry Beston
The first beach I have gone in my lifetime is the Tranquebar beach.I was fascinated as well as scared to see the giant, vast, never ending sight of nature.One of the greatest package given by nature to us.
Whenever I hear the word "beach" , the first thing that strikes my mind is the Sand.The soft, white, pure sand.Always ready to be moulded into castles, house whatever it is! People used to take off their shoes or slippers while walking on a beach.Many think that is because they dont wanna "sand up" their foot wear.But in my perspective, Sand is one of the ways that nature wants to show its warmth, her feelings. Chilly cold in the early morning expressing Nature's happiness..Turning out to be fiery hot in the noon expressing its anger and finally to a warmth which is of like giving a hug extending her arms.
Sand also teaches us many things in life..sounds crazy?!Yes, It does. But It is the truth that we cant deny.When we walk on the sand that is away from the ocean, our feet used to get into the soft sand.So what is the truth in that? For me, it tells that "It is always the soft hearted people like the soft sand, gets trampled by the merciless people or their behaviors".
When we walk on the wet sand, we leave the trails behind.The trail when it is deep, it will last for a long time.If not the ocean itself rubs it off.The traits what we do is the track we leave behind in our life.The trail will be followed if the traits are good, else the trails will be criticized and would be never forgotten if the traits are bad.Difficult to understand rite!
I always want to meet my lovable ones in the beach.But unfortunately, everytime I do that, I used to get my thoughts lost deep into the horizon and forget the one sitting by my side.If we want to get a perfect solitude, then my first choice would be the beach.Sitting in the beach and watching the people trying to run away from the waves and in return the waves are like playing with the people, watching the sun goes down is one such masterpiece art of nature, listening to the lapping waves' sound, watching the waves smoothing out the beach sand, those small little crabs running mad in every direction and the stray dogs trying to catch those small critters, the distant lights coming from the boats, the beaming light of the light house....the list goes on and on...
I always want to sit and watch the things I above said, with the sound of the waves and the wind in my ears, sensing the smell of the beach, with the breeze flowing through my hair. I wish there is one day in future, where I can hold my special someone's hand and go for a long walk in the beach in silence.Ofcourse the previous line is the effect of reading novels of true love..Dont bother it :) But I hope it would be the never forgettable moment in anyone's life.
I hope many of my days would start and end watching the twilight from the beach, watching the full moon dispersing its light in every direction and through the leaves of the coconut tree, the fisherman going into the deep ocean inspite of all the fears for their living, the waves splashing over the rocks, the breeze that makes the fire to be sprayed coming from the charred corn's stove, tuning my frequency of solitude to the silence of the ocean, listening to the melancholy carried away by the wind....
A perfect day spent on or near a beach is one of the perfect days that is LIVED in our life!!
