SIRENS OF THE SEA

Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it’s sent away.

 The ocean, a reoccurring memory time and time again. I love the beach when I want to get back to myself or unwind. I do not like to over indulge my visits, because I will loose the value and the vast meaning of it and yet, I know it's somewhere close. I guess that's the advantage of living in a tropical state. The sea, teaches you, change is inevitable. Although it remains the same, it's predictions are enigmatic. Whenever I daze into it, I always feel like it's alive and listening. Walking by the shore, it erases our footprints, to give us a chance to relive it again. Just like the old parable about the hole you leave when you take your hand out of the water...She teaches us to live- silent and yet full of life.  

“The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too” 

( Vincent Van Gogh). 

I was recently reading about John F. Kennedy, and one of his remarks, hit the note.....

  "I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it's because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it's because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came."
