Description-A Heaven On Earth


As I made my way up the narrow pier, and over the dunes, I began to squint as the sun's brilliant rays glared into my eyes. I had arrived at her sanctuary, and my refuge. With a deep breath, I filled my lungs with the salty sea air, fully aware of what I was about to endure. The warmth of the shore was comforting, with the grains of sand forming to my every step, almost as if I were walking on a thick white cloud of cotton. I took a seat near the waters edge, indulging myself in the therapeutic reverberations of the crashing waves, only that of benevolent angels could sing. The seashells had always been her favorite part, for their extraordinary detail and complexity, with each shell individually hand crafted by the Ocean himself. Now the sun sets, along with reality, and the pain. Saline droplets began to escape the barriers of my eyelids, my heartbeat rapidly increases as I looked above to a glorious sunset, consisting of a remarkable blend of artistic colors and design, a work of art too beautiful to be created by Man. I whisper "I love you" in the wind as I headed back to the pier, taking my leave from this heaven on earth.

Comparison-The Unlocking To Stress


The beach is a key to the unlocking of an individuals retained thoughts and emotions. People tend to lock away any of their particular feelings, according to what situation that they're faced with, due to the restraints of appearing: vulnerable, weak, inappropriate, rude, hateful, or annoying.
As we go on in our daily life, the emotions that we internally collect have a tendency of eventually surfacing at the wrong time. Luckily there happens to be certain methods that assist people by unlocking their accumulated emotions in a more healthier fashion. I find evaluating my personal thoughts is best implemented when in a natural setting, more specifically the beach. Escaping to the beach allows me to privately reflect, sort and explore my restricted emotions, through the the help of the soothing elements the beach's landscape portrays. This key unlocks far more than just emotions but also con be used to open new doors of potential epiphanies and hobbies.

Cause And Effect-Loyal Dogs




Today we celebrate the fifty third anniversary of my mothers life, but instead of a gift she might receive a $5,000 fine. My mom has always been a beach bum, enjoying every second of the sun and sand.When I asked her what she wanted she told me that she wanted nothing more than to take pictures of my brother and I on the beach playing with our dog Brutus. I thought a photoshoot would act as a great gift, I don't have to spend a dime and my mom gets what she wanted . Everything was going to work out perfectly until my mom and I realized that sneaking a dog into the beach is strictly prohibited and anyone caught would be ticketed a five thousand dollars! My mom being as stubborn as she is refused to give up, so we snuck Brutus, our 150 lbs. chocolate Labrador past the entrance into the beach. After a couple of pictures Brutus started to get overwhelmed with exhaustion, but his loyalty to my mom was strong and continued to run around. Finally our huge Labrador had extracted all of his energy, and since he was pushed past his limits Brutus started vomiting! If that weren't bad enough a lifeguard spotted us and that when we all new it was time to make our leave.

Advocacy-A Peaceful Refuge


Peace can occur from political agreements between nations to mentally harmonizing oneself with the vast universe that surrounds us. People often find embracing peace is much easier when fleeing to a specific location that act as a type of refuge to escape their demanding lives. These locations are usually established in a natural settings, that hold tranquil and serene characteristics, according to the individual's personal interests and opinions. One of the more popular examples of these natural settings includes the beach. I myself visit the beach, to take in the peaceful landscape, and the calming details within the relaxing scenery: the soothing sounds of the waves as they crash against the soft sand, or a breathe taking sunset, so beautiful no picture or painting could ever capture the true essence of equanimity and prosperity that one is exposed to while observing this visual art. The beach can act as a beneficial source, to obtain a peaceful enlightenment throughout our existence.

Narrative-So Much or A Vacation


Yesterday while trying to enjoy my escape to the beach, I couldnt help to notice the screams of terror awakening from the ocean. Without hesitation I immediatly ran to the waters edge, to find a young girl, hovering over the lifeless body of one of the local surfers.
Shortly after arriving to the scene, the it was obvious that the surfer had been brutally attacked by a shark. Panicking I notified the girl that I was recently certified in first aid and CPR and told her in order to stop the bleeding we were going to need to gather towels and apply pressure to his wound. The blood continully drained from the victum's arm as if it were a water fauset, Making our efforts hopless.
The paramedics eventually arrived but, it was too late, the surfer had died in the girl's arms due to the loss of blood.
