His life this past week has been a crazy whirlwind,
and this evening he finds himself, once again, in a strange city on the other
side of the country, far away from the family he loves. It is a constant effort to find the right
balance between taking care of his responsibilities at work, and taking care of
his wife and children. And since it is
impossible to be in two places at once, the struggle remains.
He has an unexpected few hours of unscheduled
time, so he decides to take a walk along the beach. To take a few minutes to try to unwind after
his long day of meetings, from the relentless pressure to produce more, more and
always more.
As his feet sink into the warm sand, and he
listens to the comforting sound of the waves whooshing in and out, back and
forth, he takes a deep breath and feels his tight shoulders begin to relax. His thoughts travel towards home, towards the
one place his heart longs to be. And in
his rare moment of solitude he begins to reflect on the past week. What a week it has been!
