Luke Hand's Beach Zen and the Magic of Books
Got a bit zen out there today.
Ever thought books could be your personal virtual reality? Luke Hand dives into this idea in his latest diary entry. Starting his day with a couple of work tasks, Luke shares his thoughts on some 'bad albums' he listened to, like Second Coming and Squeeze. The day takes a turn when he finds himself covered in mosquito bites and dealing with a bloody nose. But it's not all bad.
Luke heads to the beach for a swim, finding the water warm and the beach empty, allowing him to achieve a zen-like state. He even considers getting a buoy and waterproof pouch to bring his phone along next time. Luke's reflections don't stop there. He talks about missing his meds for a few days and feeling jumpy, but he also emphasizes the importance of good routines and self-care.
A bath with lots of Dettol helps soothe those pesky mosquito bites, and listening to the Seeing Red podcast adds an interesting twist to his day, even if it leaves him a bit spooked. The episode is a blend of mundane and magical moments, reminding us that even on tough days, there's something to be grateful for. Luke's insights into how books can transport us to different worlds offer a fresh perspective on reading.
Whether you're dealing with work stress, health issues, or just looking for a bit of zen, Luke's journey offers relatable and inspiring moments. Tune in to hear Luke's candid reflections and maybe find a bit of your own zen in the process.
