ask and you shall receive. we took a detour and the universe led us to a quiet, secluded beach lake. at first, it felt eerie like we were in a scene from a Pleasantvile. the sound of peace so still it was uncomfortable...but we climbed up on lifeguard tower 10, faced the sun and accepted this gift we rarely allow ourselves to enjoy - the space to hear our own thoughts and just breathe. https://www.instagram.com/p/BocHkirhc7z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15bzhsxuvf45x
