Why is it that we can stare at campfires and beach waves for long periods of time? Here’s a video link to a video I took one day on the beach.
What’s the fascination? Why are people compelled to sit around a campfire or on a beach for hours? Why do relaxation tapes feature the sound of waves breaking on the beach?
I don’t know the answer to these questions, but it appears that watching the movement and constant change of both fire and water can put a person into a mild meditative state.
What I do know is that I thoroughly enjoy both. The beach when it’s warm, and the fire when it’s cold. And when I’m enjoying one or the other, I know that all is right with the world.
