A sandy beach can teach the following lessons:
It is hard to walk fast on so it is teaching you to slow down and enjoy the beautiful sea air and the sound of the waves.
The sand getting into your shoes is telling you to take them off and truly immerse yourself in the experience and revel in the gritty warm texture of the sand feeling it between your toes and you are transported back in time when humans first reached the oceans and gazed in wonder. Open yourself to this wonderful experience and all its dreamlike possibilities.
The fresh breeze on your face is telling you to close your eyes and bask in the sun and breath in the fresh nourishing air. This is the stuff dreams are made of for those who dream of the freedom of the ocean.
The freedom of the open space gives you space to wander and philosophize. Let it do this.
Gazing into the horizon gives you the perspective that there are distant lands hidden beyond it, unseen and a mystery to us. This teaches us humility to acknowledge how little we know and understand about the world. It also teaches us that our ways might not be the best and there are so many different peoples and ways of life from which we can learn so much and vice versa.
