“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” | Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Different from the white sands of the Caribbean shores here, the Pacific side is black sands, dark and silky soft with the volcanic ash that spews from nearby volcanoes. It’s this gorgeous juxtapose of dark sand radiating the sun’s heat and the cool, bright blue waters that constantly crash on the shores.
The combination of sea, sand, sun has also been a source of inspiration for me, a place of rest and readjusting my perspective. This week we blocked out a few days to breathe in the Pacific air and slow down form the hustle and bustle of visitors, work and planning our next chapter. I kept thinking about the words of Antonie de Saint-Exupery... About the difference between committing yourself to a task because you need to / feel like you should and committing because you’re bursting to get out into that great big thing you have on your heart and in your dreams.
