As the days get warmer, and life gets more stressful, so many of us find ourselves daydreaming of a day at the beach. What is it about the sand and surf that we as humans find so calming?
Is it the soothing calls of the gulls, or the gentle repetition of the waves crashing on the shore? Is it the actual feeling of the sand between our toes that we love so much?
Is it the feeling of warm sunshine and salt air on our skin that makes us feel calmer? Do we like feeling how small we are, and how small our problems are, when we stand beside the ocean?
Or is it the excuse to get outside, sit down on the earth, and do nothing?
