Overlooking the majestic and pure beauty of Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, the peace and serenity of the place lends itself well to comtemplating life plans, love, the meaning of it all. The dramatic cathedral of the big sky and jutting snow-capped mountains is ever-changing and there’s a reverent silence here like inside of a medieval church. It’s important to take a step back and contemplate everything and not be constantly moving forward every second of your life. Sometimes the real work occurs when we are simply being rather than doing. If only being and contemplation looked as good as this every day, I don’t know how I would ever find the motivation to work again!
