Nature's Spa; A gift From God.

Ronan Furuta

I stand under the shade, impatiently kicking my sandals aside.

Breathing deeply, letting my tension abide.

I step forward, slowly at first.

Anticipation, excitement, all bubbling up inside.

I take my first step, and the cool water clashes with the soft sands.

I wiggle my toes in joy as I wade further out.

There is no feeling quite like nature massaging my feet and hands.

We can mimic, we can copy, we can file for patents.

But nothing we make can offer what nature can give.

Standing on a shore is to truly live.

It cannot be recreated in spas, parlors, or retreats.

We can attempt, try to capitalize on, and charge a fortune.

But we can never replicate that first step, when nature and body connect.

Anything less is merely a distortion.
