I’ve held the honored privilege of wandering many a wayside in my time. I’ve woken in the morn and stepped my bare feet upon the crystalline dew perched upon the grass in the middle of the Amazon jungle. I’ve laid my head upon the softest pillow within a hammock on the veranda facing a fierce and mighty Corentyne River in Guyana. I’ve taken a deep, satisfying breath of crisp dawn air in my lungs on top of the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. But my best time in nature has always been, and always will be, the cherished moments I get to defeat the burden of reality on the shores of the mighty oceans of our beautiful world.
Nothing is so vital to the health of my soul than the salty bite of the ocean air on my lips. I was born a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean and most of my adult life was spent within 30 minutes or so from the ocean. It is as a part of me as the sweat upon my brow and the lifeblood flowing through my veins. It calls to me as the sweet song of the siren beckoning my return and I must heed. Mother Ocean has cradled me in her embrace and rocked the pain of defeat and betrayal from my heart as her loving waves hid my burning tears. Her bosom has given me the most pleasurable meals of my existence and I can’t fathom a feast that does not feature her glorious bounty.
My love affair with the ocean has bewitched me for an eternity and I am blessed by her adoration. She loves me more deeply than I deserve and she has constantly given with only requesting respect in return. She KNOWS me and I her, as sweetly as I’ve known a lover’s embrace. She is a jealous muse and the lack of respect of her Titan powers will bring a retribution that is biblical in nature. Yet she adores me.
Basically…..I like the beach….lolololol Thanks for reading and remember that I love you all and each of you have the potential for excellence!

Awesome post, @papacrusher. There is nothing as soothing as a warm summer evening at the beach. Thanks for sharing your love of the ocean.
My favorite is a cold stormy night watching the storm roll in!
Oh yeah, the ocean - what a wonderful part of our world! I love it, too - you would have never guessed by my IGN, huh? 🤣
Still thinking if or what to post for Galen's WE... hmm...

Hi @papacrusher
Like you I have spent most of my life within 30 minutes of the ocean in whatever country I have lived in.
The power of the sea, the crashing of the waves it is music to my ears, the smell of the salt air is invigorating!
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend :)
There is nothing so pure and honest as the ocean. Thanks for reading and commenting!
My pleasure, and I shall go for a walk on the beach tomorrow, thanks for reminding me!

This is almost a poetry @papacrusher and I loved reading it. You say you're born close to Atlantic Ocean, on the contrary, I was born close to the Himalayas so I kept wandering on the hills, forests as and when possible, cheers!
Thank you so much for the compliment! I would love to traverse those ancient peaks one day!
