It shines as bright as the sun. It’s radiant blue and green colours with a pinch of white suspended into nothing.
Today we descend. Holding tight to our straps as we are violently pulled in. The yanked of the parachute announces our return. The splash in the water confirms it.
We open the hatch and take the first breath. In that moment we knew the answer was here all along.

Golden Moments by The Sea
Picture this: the gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore, the salty breeze tousling your hair, and the sky painted in hues of orange and pink as the sun dips below the horizon. Yep, you're right in the middle of a sunset on the beach.
