The Sea - An Endless Library Of Echoes And Stories
3 comments
The vast expanse of water, incomparable to any other natural force. Embracing and powerful. Deep and immersive. A force that pulls you into other worlds. Beauty that astonishes with its untamed majesty. We think we know the sea, yet it’s much more than what we see.
A treasure, gifted to us so we can journey through it, explore it, and time and again realize how small and insignificant we are. It’s as boundless as dreams. Just think of how many dreams it has sparked or taken away! And how many secrets it holds! But it keeps them safe because it speaks with a voice that few can understand.
Waves may whisper words once spoken by someone, but how many of us can truly hear those messages? Each wave tells a story someone once shared with the sea. It carries the echo of that story but never reveals who entrusted it because it never betrays those who share a piece of themselves with it.
The sea always tempts us to leave our safe shores and seek the unknown. That fills us with fear because humans don’t easily part from solid ground. Over the sea, we can’t hold power.
We don’t know how. No one has ever conquered it. The best sailors have learned to read its signs, but who has ever truly mastered it?
The sea is much like the world we live in. Calm and peaceful at times, and then fierce and angry. Moods shifting just when we begin to feel calm and secure. Sometimes we feel its welcoming embrace, and other times its harsh slap. If the land gives us solidity, water gives us movement.
To survive in the water, we must swim. If the sea didn’t exist, we might never have developed that skill. And from the sea, we learn to “swim” in life, too.
It’s no less frightening than the ocean depths. With the sea, hopes are born and die. It can lure us in at any moment, knowing that we love it.
And how could we not? It’s so colorful and beautiful!
