“Look at that sea, girls--all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen. We couldn't enjoy its loveliness any more if we had millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds.”
- L.M. Montgomery

Ever dream about escaping for the day? Whenever I daydream about a little escape, my thoughts always gravitate to the water. It calls to me.

I feel a sense of serenity when I'm near the sea or a lake, that is unmatched by anything else.

I'm a watery soul: it doesn't matter if I'm zipping in a motorboat with friends, lazily floating on a raft feeding ducks with a sweetheart, or just bobbing in the waves smelling the salt on my skin and feeling it twist through my hair...
...I get a sense of rejuvenation in my spirit... Just from looking at it.

Huddling around a campfire on the beach with buddies, talking and laughing and listening to the magnificent roar of the sea in the dark, is my idea of heaven.

Scientists say that we're 2/3 water, so maybe this feeling I have is just nature calling to itself?

Water reflects the sky and the clouds and the moods of the weather. Like our souls, it absorbs and dissolves, it darkens, and refreshes.

It sparkles at one point and churns and crashes the next. It is both supremely flexible and unyielding. It's the universal solvent, simultaneously wielding the power to kill, and to provide the absolute essence of life.

“hark, now hear the sailors cry,
smell the sea, and feel the sky
let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic...”

Forget slowly decomposing in the cold ground - when I die, just put me in a canoe, light it on fire, and push me out into the inky dark. I'll quickly dissolve back into the minerals that will one day make up someone else's tears.
