Open Spaces: The Horizon, The Heart, and The Mind

There is something extraordinary about standing at the edge of the world—where sky meets sea, where light meets dark, where endings and beginnings exist in perfect balance.

Tonight, as I stand on the shore, the sun slowly melts into the horizon, painting the sky with hues of fire and gold. On the other side of me, the new moon quietly emerges, a delicate crescent cradling the night. It feels like a moment suspended in time—a reminder that life is always in motion, always shifting from one phase to the next.

The ocean stretches infinitely before me, mirroring the vastness within myself. This open space is not just outside—it is inside, too. A space for breathing. A space for reflection. A space for gratitude.

I close my eyes and inhale deeply, feeling the rhythm of the waves matching the rhythm of my heart. I think about all the lessons carried in the tide—the release of the old, the embrace of the new. The setting sun reminds me of what I’m ready to let go of. The rising moon whispers of fresh possibilities, of transformation waiting to unfold.

In this moment, I find space in my heart and mind to simply be. To honor the beauty of what is here, what is now, what is unfolding. And I realize—open spaces are not just the untouched landscapes before us. They are the quiet places within us that make room for joy, healing, and renewal.

Here, standing between light and darkness, endings and beginnings—I feel free.
