Heroes Not Zombies

Sometimes we just need to pause, slow down, step off the wheel, take a few deep breaths.

There are many ways to do that, but one I find effective is to contemplate a peaceful scene. Here is one such scene. I love the calmness of the sea, the green of the water, slowing morphing into blue the further we look (the distance is usually blue isn’t it?) then on the horizon I see where the deep blue sea meets a golden bank of air before my eyes ascend towards the deeper and deeper blue of the heavens. I see long, flat, smooth rocks, languishing on the golden horizon and soaking themselves in the peaceful green water in the middle of the scene. I see some breaking waves splashing white where the green water turns blue, and these are pleasing waves, the kind you hear breaking with sighs as the ocean exhales on the beach.

Find your own way around the scene. Take your own route. But just spend a few moments, or even minutes, allowing yourself to take it all in……..

…..there, doesn’t that feel good?
