Relax Under the Shadows of Those Embracing Clouds by Reji.

by -Reji. “Relax Under the Shadows of Those Embracing Clouds.”

“I could never stay long enough on the shore; the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought.”

- Helen Keller

“The beach is not a place to work; to read, write or to think.”

- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“...vicinity to the sea is desirable, because it is easier to do nothing by the sea than anywhere else, and because bathing and basking on the shore cannot be considered an employment but only an apotheosis of loafing.”

- E.F. Benson

“Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me:

If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature’s simple treasures,

life and living need not be so hard.”

- Psyche Roxas-Mendoza

“The serenity of the lulling ocean is a wondrous thing to behold..more precious than the gems coveted and covered in platinum or gold...”

- Oksana Rus

“A long walk in a long beach shortens every kind of sorrow!”

- Mehmet Murat Ildan

“When my toes are sunk into warm sand and the ocean is lapping my feet, when I breathe in the scent of salt and hear the cry of a seagull, I know that I am returned to a place of restoration. I am home.I can heal here.”

- Toni Sorenson

“Just take my hand, lead, dance with me...and I will simply follow the blueness of the water, the white waves rolling free...where the earth beneath my feet and stars make my heart whole again...in long and priceless moments of shared solitude...”

- Oksana Rus

“My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.”

- Rabindranath Tagore

“When I walk down the beach and smell the salt water, hear the waves crashing against the shoreline, and feel the granular sand under my feet, I can't help but realize why I'm here on this green earth”

- Wendy Joubert
