World Oceans Day

Since it is World Oceans Day I thought I'd make a little blog about The Ocean.........


I have a deep love for the ocean.....
She is vast and mysterious- calming and tumultuous- she is the heart beat of the earth, and gives us life....
I lived on the beach and moved about a year ago-
There is a part of me that feels this pull to be back near the water.....
I crave her sound and her smell.......
To me there is not much better than sitting on the beach or the cliffs and rocks and watching the waves come in and move out- watching the fish jump and the seals play or come out to sun bathe.....

I miss looking out over the ocean in sun and in rain,when she is still and the fog has settled over her, when the sun meets her and creates an incredible show of color, when I can see the moon look over her casting shimmery lights over black silkiness....
Imagining an entire world taking place under the surface.......So much life and beauty......

The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea. ~Isak Dinesen

I find myself at the extremity of a long beach. How gladly does the spirit leap forth, and suddenly enlarge its sense of being to the full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep! A greeting and a homage to the Sea! I descend over its margin, and dip my hand into the wave that meets me, and bathe my brow. That far-resounding roar is the Ocean's voice of welcome. His salt breath brings a blessing along with it. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

We carry oceans inside of us, in our blood and our sweat. And we are crying the oceans, in our tears.”

I've only ever seen a proper, open ocean (i.e. not an inlet, bay, whatever) once, and that was all of 4 months ago. Loved it.

Happy O-Day!
 
sometime this summer i want to drive out to the pacific. i've heard its some of the prettiest parts of WA. and i love falling asleep to the sounds of waves lapping on the shore.
 
Ocean-- I came very close to dropping everything and moving there. Turns out that I made the right decision to return home, at least for the moment, but I will move there... someday.
 
Animal Cookie- I am in Washington too.....where are you?
Have you been to Neah Bay? Its amazing.....
This summer I am hoping to get out to Long Beach or Ruby Beach <3 Looks awesome.

Dave- living by water is the best.
 
It was brilliant: Pacific ocean on one side, awesome temperate rainforest on the other, and a little tourist/hippie town in between. I really do miss it.
 
Tofino. On the west side of Vancouver island, and one of the only places in Canada with any real surf. I fell in love with the place as soon as I arrived, and hope to someday open a restaurant there.
