Outside the Blur

Or La Dune du Pyla in french.

Yestarday I was gone to see the big dunes named Pyla near Arcachon. It was an unique experience.

I taken the train from Angouleme where I was via Bordeaux to Arcachon. From there I taken a local bus and I arrived to a place called “Jetee du Moulleau”. there are cca 3 km and I taken my shoes off and I begun walking to the beach until I reached the Great Dunes of Pyla. When I closed to the dunes there are 100 m more difficult to pass because the water is very close to the shore and I was forced to mount the dikes which have an acceptable angle, but you can hold the concrete fence with one hand (left hand if you walk to the dunes ) and after there is no problem to walk. You can walk, but you must pay some attention and maintain a permanent contact with your hand on the fence. So don’t hurry, walk slowly.

And VOILA. I finally arrived to the dunes after 45 minutes of walking , and I begun ascending the dunes which is a little more difficult that I believed, because the sand is not very stable underfoot.

The experience is incredible. The beauty of this place is extraordinary. The combination of colors of blue of the water and sky (if you catch a clean sky), yellow from the color of the sand and the green from the trees and the forest nearby. All give a spectacular view. And when you are on top, the landscape permits you to view the island of sand close to the dunes from the continent. I was also able to see the curvature of the Earth, because the ocean have regularity. It’s fantastic.

This planet, this place of ours is amazing. We have in this world beauties even beyond our imagination. I have seen before I go to the Dunes of Pyla images, but nothing compares to really be there. Images are just a small representation of the reality. Because when you are there, the feelings, the sensations, the smell and all your sensitives organs are working. The nature, the Universe in which we are living is giving us all we need to be happy. They are giving us all we need to live in harmony, to live in a peaceful world.

We must pay a special attention to preserve what we have and to let also others to see, because everyone has the right to know and to be happy in this world.

We are nothing but a small flash in the Universe if we look from the perspective of our lifetime.

We are nothing that a mass of atoms combined in an intelligent way, complexly structured in molecules, cells, tissues, organs and so on.

We are limited in our perception, our feelings, our thoughts, our thinking.

We are nothing that a living being, an independent organism who can make some own decisions and which can perturb a small part of the Universe near us.

But we are humans, we have consciousness and we have the power to make decisions. We have a good degree of freedom, and a good power to do some things. We have evolved.

Even if we are so small, we can still do lots of things around us, things who can improve our lives and the lives of the ones near us.

We must know that we are just nothing, if we don’t learn how to share a small part of us. This small part can be anything. It can be intelligence, this is when you teach somebody your experiences and your knowledge.

It can be love, when you decide to share it with someone that you find to be very special for you.

It can be materialistic, if you have more money that you need and you want to help others who need it more than you.

In any way you do share, you will be a part of something. You will become important for others and you’ll be appreciated.

Good luck then.
