The Croatian Carrabian Coast .. that's what I saw as I stared into the turquoise Green waters of Zadar.. The dream was beginning. An untouched beauty, the land that surrounded. Mountainscapes and white peaks high above into the clouds... I could touch but not reach. Mind flashes back to journey between Zagreb & Zadar.. a beautiful moment. Alone, feeling the depth in a freeing and unrivaled way to other experiences. Why was this one different? Are they not all the same? This one is more freeing. I am standing in awe but in-motion: On a bus, riding between two landscapes. To my right: a plateau-like bust of land amassing into the sky and to my left: alp-like peaks riding along the horizon for as far as the eye had. „Am I dreaming? Is this really this beautiful? Woah." Joy filled my chest cavity & Ecstacy began to set in.. „This is.. ah." The moments, the moments that fill this is why we travel to make a dream one with memory & meaning. „A story to tell? This one is a secret. Can it be real? Am I the only one who knows about this? How does anyone not know about this?.. place. Why don't we all just come here?... Oh, I would want to live here but to travel.. Now that is what makes life beautiful, is it not? To see and to discover." This time the sea sounds returned and I was back staring into those blue-green waters, eyes wide... widened in the same fashion.. laughing.. „oh my gosh, it is a dream" I thought to myself, „but this is absolutely wonderful." The sound of the ocean... it's always the same... wherever you are, wherever you go. The only thing that matters is the fact that you're there. I grew up by the ocean so this is what I call home as far as places go. „There's no place I'd rather be" .. This song everyone knows by Clean Bandit.. takes you to that place. Can home be this feeling that I feel when my heart is near this thing they call the ocean? This great body of unity that is flowing and wobbling and waving and just a great display of pureness & frequency, representing the natural laws of energy. At that time it felt a bit bouncy. You always see the boats bobbing up and down.. „must be the wind." My attention turned down slightly to focus on what I had resting in my lap. My hands felt the coldness of the steel.. colder than the air. Taking one last breath I began to play. The notes came. I was unsure. Learning an instrument is always a bit of struggle. I'd like to think that I know what I'm doing but I truly don't. All of a sudden I saw a young man approaching along with a young woman. He had a smile on his face, like nothing I'd seen in a while. I looked at my partner quickly with anticipation, as she stood before me, below me, with a camera. Noticing the approach of newcomers we both felt a shift in the energy. My focus became more tuned in to what I was doing. „I have to keep playing without making an impression" my thoughts coming. „No don't think, just play, relax." I played until I was finished and then was met with slight applause & more smiles. „I play too" the man looked at me excitedly and made his way over to greet me. „Here you go" I handed the instrument to him. He sat down, facing the sea, and began to play. My heart immediately opened. The way he played was so natural and effortless. „Thank you" I whispered silently to myself, to the universe. In my mind, everything was happening so coincidently, so spontaneously, so naturally. This must be what it feels like to be by the ocean. I suppose there is a reason why we want to visit here, this natural place. This reason is the same reason why we want to meet each other.
