Tell me something, what does this video make you feel?
I was thinking about it this morning, and it brings me a lot, a lot of peace. That’s it. Calm.
It also takes me back to that moment and that place. The canoes in the background aren’t hired for the video, even though it looks like it 😂. I spent the afternoon playing guitar and ukuleles sitting by the riverbank. There was an overwhelming silence, especially striking considering it was just a few minutes’ walk from downtown Galway. And although it was a really beautiful day, I remember the grass was quite wet and my pants got a little damp and dirty, but it didn’t matter. That connection with nature, with something pure, is ultimately more calm 🎵
I can’t help but think about how fast the world is moving, how nervous people are. I don’t want to get into the reasons or judge them. The only thing I know for sure is that we can’t change all that, but we can create our own little corners and moments of calm, moments of connection with ourselves.
I can do it, and you can too, even if it’s not always easy. It’s worth it ❤️
