"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." -John F. Kennedy
There have been a few times in my life where I have met people in Iowa, that have never seen the ocean. It always makes me so sad for them. I just, I can't even imagine life without the ocean.
I can stand and stare in wonder at it's vastness and take comfort in its familiarity.
There is peace and freedom from anxiety here.
I don't want to leave.
