The only difference is the elevation, but you can still see the kelp beds on the left and right and the rocky edge of the island at the Kom. The tide was at the same level at the same time of evening.The clouds are not all that different and the sea is flat calm.
So what does this tell us? That despite the things that go on in the background - births, deaths, divorces, marriages, buying a house, buying a car, learning to drive, traffic jams, taxis, road rage, starting school, leaving school, getting a job, being unemployed, earning money, losing money, making friends, making enemies, being happy, being sad - everything is transient and meaningless in the greater scheme of things.
While all this has happened, every day the tide has ebbed and flowed, the sun has risen and set, the moon and stars have traversed the heavens. These are our constants, the things we can rely on to never change and the things that soothe our souls in good times and bad. Appreciating the natural beauty of this planet is the most important tool we have been given for self-healing and all it requires is to sit in complete silence and allow it to be.
