Ever since I was a child, the time when my body most "sang" was when I was sprinting.

Flat out, full speed, asking everything of my muscles, so that in a short burst of just a few hundred meters; I would push to the extreme limit... and then feel the utterly, completly visceral joy, wash over my body, because its been used to its full extent.

You can't often sprint nowadays... treadmills don't work and fields aren't fun.

But beautiful, endless, flat sand beaches... Oh my! What bliss!!

Barefoot, no limits, perfect surface underfoot and just sea, clouds, wind and unobstructed nature surrounding you...

- solitude

- ocean

- sprint

- physical/mental/emotional

... therapy; at its absolute best...

It's moments like this when I remember that it's so very easy for us to take our bodies for granted.

I am so unbelievably grateful that I have a body that functions, that allows me to enjoy myself, to have wonderful experiences and to enjoy the thrill of living, in a most basic, simple way 💜
