Yorktown, Virginia (6/12/2025)
I had a great day of rest, reflection, and renewal at the beach in Yorktown, Virginia. Everything I saw there was calm, distinct, and revealing. Humans are sometimes too busy with nonessential activities that are detrimental to our bodies, others, and nature. Seagulls, birds, flowers, sea waves, sand, pebbles, seashells, and everything else remain peaceful, knowing their place and enjoying their existence. Why are we not like that?
"The more you know, the more you know you don't know. The truth is, we humans are not capable of knowing everything. So, what we need is humility and open-mindedness as much as confidence."
