This is Jug Handle Beach State Park in Caspar, California. It is one of my favorite beaches.

Whenever I visit this quiet shore, my mind feels settled, and I’m filled with a refreshing sense of clarity—as if a wide, open space has been cleared within my heart.

As I walk along, matching my pace to the rhythm of the gentle waves,  I feel my thoughts empty out and a deep sense of peace take over. It’s where I go to find my center again.
