Arrifes Beach
Today I walked. And walked. And walked. Until I could walk no more. Then I sat down and watched the surfers catch a wave. I listened to music. Whatever I did - i was fully present. I was there. Nowhere else. Coz all we ever have and all we will ever have is this present moment. Everything else is an illusion. Everything has passed. The rest will follow. But right now: this is all I have. #alifefullofserendipity #serendipitytess #travel #traveling #travelblog #travelling #travel #photo #photooftheday #ocean #algarve #travelphotography
