Learning to breathe again

It is easy to forget just how beautiful the world really is.. especially when being overworked. Thankfully, it all came back to me today. I took a walk to the seaside and then back through a park. The night-time is truly beautiful - stars in the sky, distant lights reflecting from the lake surface through the trees, streetlights providing for beautiful light-and-dark contrasts.

When under stress, both mind and body tense up. Letting it all just fade away into the darkness, feeling the tension just lifting away, freeing oneself to literally be able to breathe deeply again.

Such experiences are few and far between for me, but I am thankful for every single one of them. They cleanse, refresh, restore the balance and give strength to face what is yet to come.
