Had a bond fire on the beach today with about 30+ dutch students. The party was right outside my apartment. It was pretty cool...except for the fact that hanging around people who speak more than one language becomes a chore once they switch from english to their native language...but Im used to that.
I find it interesting that fire brings people together...very primordial. Instinctive behavior. Whenever there is a fire about to get started..people always become interested..they stand around, making a perfect circle around the flame..all feeling the same sense of contentment. The same is true for the ocean...I noticed that most people go to the ocean, wearing as little as humanly possible...approach the shore like shy children and ease their way into the waters (regardless of the temperature) as if they hope the waters will reveal some secret of the ages that can be soaked through their pores. Its amazing how man reacts to the natural environment around him....almost like a stranger or a long lost friend. There is usually that sense of peace and stillness that we have all felt before, I'm sure...those, to me are the moments that matter...and if you can do that with friends...then all the better.
Hey King. I wrote a message before saying that I know what ur talking about with the elements that bring peace to people. And I remember typing that I admire your aggressive nature towards life that ironically has brought you to a peaceful place. But then the stupid thing told me to "Select a Profile" and things got all lost in the process.
