“You will love the ocean. It makes you feel small. But not in a bad way. Small because you realize you’re part of something bigger.”- Lauren Myracle
I love the ocean
I love the myths and legends
The sea shanties and stories
I love the awe and wonder of the ocean
Of life in the deep
I love to be beside the sea
It is calming, soothing, healing
The ocean is life
“Across the world, millions of people are at work in and around the five oceans. Through their hard work, the oceans give us food, resources, transport, energy and fun. Yet when we make use of the oceans, we must remember to protect their water, animals and plants for the future.”
Oceans At Work, Watts and Wayland Books
The ocean gives us hope
It feeds our soul
It makes us feel closer to loved ones
It keeps secrets and promises
The oceans are magical
Enchanted and beautiful
There is nowhere I feel as much at peace
As on the shore
Nowhere I would rather hide my tears
Than in the salt waters of the ocean
The oceans inspire us
We need the oceans and they need us too
“Our planet is vast and it’s beautiful too
But it needs our help – it needs me
It needs you
Though we might be small in a world that is wide
Together we swell until we turn the tide”
