This feels right. A small bridge, sincere, with a certain promise: the sea. Bushes of ripe, juicy caleta grapes on either side, as if the Universe is gracing you too for choosing that path to the magic, to the blue.
It feels good in my memory, but it felt even better being there, meeting it early every day, before 8 o'clock, when the sand was still fresh and light; the water crystal clear and silky; and the soundtrack of the beach was slowly waking up, with the chatter of two or three seagulls flying over the sea mirror and the murmur of small waves turning into shy foam on the shore.
On that bridge I met a black cat who let himself be petted by me. He used to wait for me to cuddle him behind his ears. The second day we met, he turned around and showed me his belly. -Look how cheeky you are, I said tenderly. And it felt good. Because it was pure love. There was no fear there. It is said that whatever is born out of fear will eventually be undone by love.
And so, I dived into that beach that was mine, mine alone, to wander along its shore looking for shells, thinking about my shrews, about all the versions of me there could be and which one I would keep. This felt good too. And when I told someone that I would like to stay there indefinitely, he burst out laughing. -You're not a fool, he exclaimed. Anyone likes to stay like that in a hotel, with nothing to do but relax and have fun.
-Yes, you're right, I replied. And I laughed too.
I often laugh because if I didn't, I would drown in tears. However, my idea went beyond the hotel, beyond comfort, beyond a well-deserved holiday. I would stay there by the sea, in a tent, in a hut or whatever, learning to be silent. I would stay there or on any silent beach letting myself be caressed by all its breezes: morning, noon, afternoon, evening and night breezes.
There is a great power of healing and clarity in silence.
And there is also a great healing power in playing, in being children again.
There were moments of much laughter, people very dear to me who could not be there physically were there through video calls, with the promise, I don't know if it was true, to meet up one day and enjoy this marvel together.
I couldn't miss my absent-mindedness either, making a mistake with the memory card in my little action cam. As it had no capacity, it forced me to record in timelapse instead of normal video.
Note:
I had this post in drafts and decided to publish it now in the middle of one of my worst early mornings. I'm sick and I feel really bad.
For me the most important things in life are to have good health, to love and to be loved. These are the greatest privileges you can count on. The rest comes in time and is achieved along the way.

Beautiful! Love how the sky blends into the sea! Great capture.
In the mornings it looks beautiful like this, it gives the sensation of freshness... However, as the day progresses, the sun becomes more and more scorching.
Thank you!
¡Qué divino! Imágenes que transportan al bienestar 😌. Espero que te recuperes pronto @nanixxx, ¡SALUD!
Buenos días Sofía, gracias. Poco a poco me sentiré mejor. Un abrazo.
Watching my Aunt Nani playing in the water as a child gave me a thousand years of feather life 🦉❤️
Playing is very refreshing, especially in a place as paradisiacal as this 😍
I'm a devilish owl whose goal is to burn the world, but when I see these beaches, I forget and what I want is to generate a huge tsunami... 🦉
Sorry, Buhito wanted to talk to his Aunt Nani, but I didn't know he'd get out of control again haha 😂
I'm sending you lots of hugs and blessed feathers so you get better. Whatever your ailment, the sun will shine again! ❤️☀️
Oh, but hahaha... A tsunami! Oh what a naughty little owl. I send him a tsunami of kisses.
Yes, Aunt Nani can be very childish sometimes and I like to be like that.
A hug to both of you. Thank you!

Healing involves days when we feel bad and sick, but that's okay, it's part of the process. Look at it this way. The black cat was a sign, and what it did was a demonstration of trust. Trust yourself. We care about how sick you are, but your body is healing, and your soul even more so, because the sea cleanses everything. That sea... beautiful.
A friend once told me: let your inner child do what she wants from time to time. I leave you with that message.
Thank you, Amonet.
Yesterday a jet-black beetle came in through the kitchen window and flew for a few seconds in front of me, making that sound with its wings, before it flew out and left. I thought it was a sign too. I've been feeling better ever since.
Thank you again.
I like to play. I'm always like a little girl.
In Egyptian culture, the scarab was placed near the heart during mummification because it represented the soul of the deceased....You'll be fine!
Gracias.
Mira, quería compartirte esta foto desde el otro día, pero entre una cosa y otra lo olvidé.
Una Catalina!!! Todos los gatos negros son mi Cata... sabes? Hoy es su cumple... 13 añitos de mi reina!
Felicidades 🎉 Cata. 😃 Meow Meow...

A beautiful text, @nanixxx. I won't say anything else... I'll just repeat a comment you left me at some point: you are a very wise woman.
A big hug. (En esta ocasión el traductos omitió el warm, pero aquí lo tienes: A warm hug, @nanixxx 🤗)
🙂 I guess if you say that is because you have a good reason, because you are not a person who speaks lightly.... The only thing I know is that knowledge often involves a certain amount of pain...
A warm hug 😄... Thank you.
Growing up always hurts, @nanixxx. A warm hug. 🫂
Great post and: I loved seeing this photo! 😍🔟📷👍
