Walking slowly towards the edge of the water, Elise notice the warm sun on her face and shoulders. The salty smell of the sea air invigorates her, and taking in a deep breath… breathe slowly out… and feel more relaxed and refreshed. Finally, she reach the water’s edge and gladly invite the waves to flow over her toes and ankles. As she watches the waves glide smoothly towards her, gently sweeping around her feet, and the trails of sea water that flow slowly back out again. The cool water feels soft and comforting as she enjoy a few moments allowing herself to gaze out on the far reaching horizon. This is Elise’s encounter with the beach.
