After work, I decided to go on a long stroll on the beach. Generally, I’m not big on walking, however when it comes to sandy beaches I could walk forever. I wanted to put my phone away and just enjoy the walk, but I can’t… the view was so beautiful I took pictures and videos every 2 minutes. My camera roll has about 50 new pictures and videos of the beach and palm trees. The Dominican palm trees are unique, the tall and skinny kind. I fell in love with them ever since I first laid eyes on them my first time in Dominican Republic in 2021.
In between taking pictures I was enjoying my walk to the fullest, relaxing mentally and working on manifesting my dreams into reality. It was about 5pm so it wasn’t hot anymore. It was windy though. Of course I tried taking one selfie, but the wind was not working in my favor.. I will not be sharing any selfies from this walk, tragic, I know. I could’ve continued walking for at least 2 more hours, the only thing stopping me from going further down the coast.. well, TMI but I needed to peeeeee ☺ so I had to go back to my resort.
After I come back, I realize it’s the exact time when the sun sets, soooo ain’t nobody got time to pee, I need to watch the sunset. I lay down on a sunbed at the beach. I’m looking at the ocean as the waves are gently crashing against the sand. The view at first glance isn’t that special. I’m in Punta Cana, which is in the East, so the sun sets on the other side of the island. It doesn’t set into the oceans like it does on the Caribbean side (which is a whole other story of nature’s beauty). However, after 0,5 seconds of looking at the sky, I notice all its gentle colors and how they flow between one another: baby blue, purple, pink, yellow and white. The longer I’m looking at this view, the more I’m starting to feel emotional.
Suddenly my eyes start watering up and tears come running down my face. I’m not sure why, I just know it’s good tears, not sad tears. It’s tears of joy, experiencing such a moment of inner peace, witnessing such a majestic view, having the privilege of ending the day this way. But it’s also more than that.. I feel such happiness and gratitude, I feel my body charging with energy and then releasing it back to what I’m witnessing right in front of me.
I am crying while looking at this view, and even writing about it is making me cry again. I’m not sure how to explain this emotion and feeling, all I know it was a moment I’ll never forget and I felt like sharing with you guys.
#To more moments like this,
Utterly grateful for being able to experience this moment today.
