We all live upon this planet as a collection of living, breathing, and thriving organisms. It is unquestionable that the love and energy we exude is thrust into the universe; eventually finding its way back to us.
Once we all accept that our connection is on a deep, molecular level…maybe then…we can show more kindness. More compassion. More love. But…until then. We can still enjoy the moments when the sun is shining on our faces. When the ocean breeze slips through our eyes. And…when the blue sky welcomes us with open arms.
Have a wonderful day everyone! And…please enjoy my photos. 🙂

Totally. I love being out in nature. I grew up in a somewhat rural area. But, over the last 15 years, I’ve lived in NYC and LA. I jump at any opportunity to spend some time in nature with my wife and young daughter!

That sounds marvelous! Nature speaks to us if our eyes, and ears are open! Blessings to you and your family! Peace.

Thank you for liking “Heart and Soul.” Beautiful photos and thoughts! 🙂 As I get older, I feel that wonderful universal connection that you discuss in this post. It is easy for me to experience this connection out in nature, so I try to go outside whenever I can even if it is just a short walk down the street so that I can look at the trees and the sky and feel the sun on my face.

Right on! I totally agree. There is something magical about being in nature. Growing up in a relatively rural area, I’ve had the privilege to be around beautiful nature for a very long time. Thankfully!

Yes, I agree! Growing up around nature is a wonderful gift. After living in New York for a few years, my family and I moved to Florida, and I spent some very happy years living by the sea. My family and I spent nearly every weekend on the beach. The beach was such a beautiful and peaceful place to be, and I did not ever get tired of it.

We spent our summers at the beaches in New Jersey (before that dumb TV show made the Jersey Shore look ridiculous lol). I love being outside! You live in California now, right?

Yes, I live in California now. My family and I moved around a lot when I was young because my dad was in the U.S. Navy. After he retired, we came to California to visit one of my mom’s sisters, and then my parents decided to stay here.
I am glad to hear that you were able to spend some time on the beach too. 🙂 I was actually born in New Jersey, but I did not stay there long enough to remember it. (I never had an interest in that Jersey Shore show either.)

I adore the photograph you’ve taken of the wave pulling away from the beach – it reminds me of my childhood home by the sea. It’s not often you see a seascape from this angle, with all it’s interesting imperfections like the strands of greenery flowing in with the water. Beautiful, thanks for sharing!

Thank you 🙂 I really like that photo too. I love the ocean, and pretty much any shot of it, is terrific to me. Which sea did you live near?

I lived on the East Yorkshire coast in the UK – a small seaside town called Bridlington. There’s a couple of different beaches ’round there – a long sandy stretch, and then further along an amazing rocky shaley beach with some great caves.
Whereabouts was your photo taken?

Sounds very nice! I took the photo on a popular beach for surfers in Malibu. It was a bit cloudy that day. Which helped with the coloring!
