“Shak” spills over with natural treasures. Gather shells while gathering your thoughts. Watch for the wild horses, descendants of Spanish mustangs from shipwrecked galleons. Dolphins are often sighted just offshore. Gliding pelicans suddenly crash into the sea in pursuit of sushi. Untracked beach invite wandering, pondering. Breathe deeply of the tangy salt air. This is a healing place.
Express your pleasure for this serene world of sea and sky. A meditation, a prayer, perhaps? If you practice yoga, face the waves and give forth a heartfelt Om or two. Let Mother Ocean bring you home. Match your breath with the gentle waves. Breathe in, breathe out. You are complete within yourself. Ah, life continues.
