Not Tired .... So Far


Tired, I should be tired, but I am not, and the reason I am writing this down is because both my sisters are tired and want to stay in the hotel room and rest for tomorrow.

Okay, a late heads up, I am on vacation in Khaleeg Neema with my sisters, and today we spent the day snorkeling.

I didn't wear my eyeglasses, as they were making the mask leak water and it was impossible to see, so in the fear of missing the view I gave them up. It is not a good place for claustrophobic people, as when you wear your snorkeling mask and as soon as you bury your head in the water, you start hearing every forced breath you take, you are forced to stop breathing from your nose, as you cant afford creating fog inside the mask, it will ruin things for you, so you hear every scary sound of breath … VOOOO, VOOOO, in and out, so fast, as this is the first time and you are trying not to panic.

And in the middle of all that, I caught a glimpse of beautiful and wonderful fish swimming here and there, they are not close to me, but they were wonderful, suddenly all the sounds numbed down, and all my thoughts about problems in my life the people I have in my life, all of that, it just stopped… I could see them clearly - though I wasn't wearing my glasses - and every thought stopped, and nothing mattered, it was time to observe nature's work of art and the beauty concealed on a different layer of earth. Corals that were HUMUNGOUS in size and quantity, that scared me at the beginning but it brought me back to my university years when I studied them, it also brought me back to a conversation I had with a friend about their status from an evolutionary point of view.

It was a delightful experience that I would recommend to anyone and to everyone.

P.S : I wanted to add a foto, but I couldn't find anything as beautiful :)
