I'm so alive. As I stand facing the beauty of the never-ending Pacific Ocean, a late afternoon breeze blows down from the hills behind. As always, it is a beautiful day. The sun is making its final descent. The magic is about to begin. The skies are ready to burn with brilliance, as it turns from a soft blue to a bright orange. Looking towards the West, I stare in awe at the hypnotic power of the waves. A giant curl begins to take form, then breaks with a thundering clap as it crashes on the shore. Dave Pelzer
About This Quote

The sky darkens and the light begins to fade, but during this time of great transition, we need to embrace the darkness and the stillness. The beauty of nature is not like a fairy tale or a dream; it is real and alive, and we must honor it. We must find the beauty in our surroundings; we must find our way back to nature. This moment brings me back to my childhood when I would sit on my parent's porch with a warm mug of cocoa in hand and watch the waves crash against the shore.

In that moment I felt at home in a place that was both familiar and foreign. There is a sense that when you are in nature, when you are surrounded by its beauty, you can connect with yourself in a way you cannot when you are in a city. It’s not about being 100% alone in an empty forest, but rather being surrounded by magic and feeling connected to something greater than yourself. The End Just want to point out here that this article contains quite a few quotes from one person.

Therefore I will try to add quotes from others as well. Meanwhile if anyone has any questions/opinions about anything stated here then feel free to comment below.
