There is a place where time stands still, where all you can hear is the gentle air brush your skin, where there is so much peace you can hear the blood fizzing in your ears. You can find this slice of Heaven on Earth at Israel’s Lake Kinneret.
Known to others as the Sea of Galilee (this comes from the area where Kinneret is located, the Galil), the harp-shaped lake is the largest freshwater lake in Israel and also, at 209 meters below sea level, it is the lowest freshwater lake on earth.
Each of us has a “secret beach” – imagined or real, beyond the horizon, or just past the next rocky outcrop. It’s a special place that exists at the edge of our world. A place where there is much longed-for, much-needed serenity, rest, inspiration and rejuvenation.
Cool sand and soft, warm breezes; breathtaking blues and greens of the water mirrors the clear, endless sky above it.
Just close your eyes and listen to the gentle rhythm of waves caressing the shore. Their peaceful rustling makes time and space dissolve. This timeless, elemental Sea of Galilee draws us in…
Now let the soothing sounds of Kinneret’s foamy waves take you back to your secret beach. Enjoy!
