Paradise

You're standing on the shore, looking out at the vast blue ocean. You don't know where it could take you - but you're eager to meet the surprises the sea has to offer. You climb into your sailboat, ready to find out...

The waves carry you out further, and further. You move slowly with the gentle breeze that lifts your hair.You're not scared - they're's no fear in the air. You don't know where you are going, but you don't mind. The sea protects you - the mist envelops you. With every minute, you go out even further- sometimes to the side, but mostly forward. You breathe in deeply, inhaling the salty air smell and the summery sensation that tingles all over your body. You lie down. You just feel so good. Nothing could be better than this very moment - this moment of relaxation and contentment.

A few minutes later, you decide to stop for a while. Lucky you brought your snorkelling mask and flippers. Without any hesitation at all, you dive gracefully into the water and enter the fishes' realm. It is so beautiful you lose your breath for a second. The colours, amazement of all the fishes swimming so swiftly, showing every colour you could possibly think of. Some of the fishes swim right up to your face and greet you. You get as close as you can to them and imagine, just imagine what it must be like to live in their world.

A while later you come out of the water - and get back into your boat. You don't need a towel as the bright sun warms you. You lie back down and enjoy this very moment - and the feelings of freedom and awe. This is your place. You think to yourself: 'Life is so beautiful'.

And then you close your eyes.
