Sea Stories

There is no solitude by the sea. We surrender to its wonder and we return to it again and again in order to follow the movement of the waves which come and go, always the same, and yet always different. We return to the sea's solitude to watch the infinite blue of the horizon, and to hear the inner lapping of the waves, and to share in the tranquillity of the water's immense mystery. "The cure of everything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea" -Karen Blixen "The sea! The sea! The open sea!, The blue, the fresh, the ever free!" -Tim Winton "Your heart is like the ocean, mysterious and dark" Bob Dylan "I need the sea because it teaches me" -Pablo Neruda "For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), It's always our self we find in the sea" -E. E. Cummings "The sea - this truth must be confessed - has no generosity. No display of manly qualities - courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness - has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power" -Joseph Conrad
