- get off the beaten track
- tiptoe along the basalt cliff
- talk to the seagulls, listen to the waves
- breathe deep the beauty of words like azure
- play in the salty wind (and laugh if people laugh at you)
- watch the sunset (without forgetting anything)
- never lose hope of seeing the green ray
- don’t try counting stars, mimic the Moon
- watch the Night (she never keeps Secrets for long)
- stay a child, and build many sand castles
- walk barefoot on the beach
- become either the dawn or mute poetry
- then and only then ask the Ocean
“how old is my soul?”
