      I love everything about the sea; the smell of it, the sensation of being in the water, the scale of it, the life that lives in it, how it flows, ebbs and circulates. Amazing how one tiny water molecule can go on such an amazing journey and how wonderfully diverse life in the oceans is, in both scale and design. For me the sea is like a life force; perhaps it’s because we came from the sea. We live on the land and yet we are inherently tied to the ocean. It’s a source of joy, mystery and wonderment. It can bring tranquility or cause turmoil and so there is balance. To me the ocean is the greatest wonder of our world. When I’m in it I feel at my most alive, more connected to the greater whole, a small and humble part of something greater than myself.
