Inner Peace & Nature

One of the best days I had in all my Irish journey was the next day when I had planned on going to Carrick-a-Rope Bridge but the long lines changed my mind.  So, I opted for solitude.  I spent a few hours sitting on the edge of a bluff overlooking the North Irish Sea.  So much has happened in my life (I could very easily write a book or an entire 5 years of a soap opera), but sitting there I was able to put my mind in neutral. 

 

I objectively assessed the past, was able to truly be in the present and had no worries about the future.  It was only me and the sea gulls - which I normally hate their loud obnoxious 'cawing' - but to my ears even they had an Irish brogue that beautiful day.

​

I left that bluff feeling more complete and at peace than I ever have in my life.  I thought "It's just geography.  If I can feel it here, then I can take it with my anywhere".  And so far, I have!
