There I was, sitting in the sand, staring at the waves of the Pacific ocean.And, maybe for the last time in my life, I had nothing and nobody to take care of, to worry about or to adjust to.
There I was, on my own, watching waves, counting heartbeats, and finding peace again by leaving everything behind.

Responsibility ... its not a brick falling on your head and you have to carry it forever... it comes with other feelings.
If you're lucky, you always have somebody to feel this about, and I guess you always had some. You won't worry more than you worry now.
I don't think that she is talking about responsability - I don't think that she could have got rid of that for any moment. And yes, it's not bad, it's a good way to feel home in your own life.
To me it sounds rather like a moment when you are able to forget to pay attention: you cannot do anything about anybody and you don't even have to. You can just be.
It happened to me once, also on a shore, but that was a lake. It was here: http://www.wanakahome.co.nz/ Images/Mountain-view-cropped-&-opt.jpg
I was incredibly light and everything just fell into its right place without any mental struggle. I knew where I am and I knew where I was heading. It was a perfect moment.
who would guess which country is ".nz" :D
Amazing, isn't it :-D
Yes, you can't leave responsibility behind, but, as lynx said, if you are away, you just can't do anything. And sometimes you don't feel guilt about that and that already makes a perfect moment.
I don't know why water is necessary for this but it seems essential, at least for me :)
Water gives a natural peace.The voice of flow, the touch of water, its the most ancient thing everybody meets. Levitating is the first thing you do. I guess its essential for everybody.
Only watching water makes people calm.
...and this reminds me of my favourite Hamvas citations:
Otthon a világot ismered meg, utazva önmagadat; mert otthon a súly magadra esik, az úton a világra, s mindig az marad ismeretlen, ahová nézel.
(At home you get to know the world, when traveling : yourself. Because at home the weight falls on you, on the road it falls on the world; the unknown is always where you look. )
A rather clumsy translation...sorry.
