I was talking to vea last night about the ocean and I remembered something my cousin Catherine once wrote in an essay about the sea. It is something I am intending to put into my own story... Girl... but I thought I would tell you.. see what you think. I emailed her tonight and asked her to send me the little thing she wrote.

I am proud to say that it was I who gave her the idea for it in the first place, as I worship the sea in ways she cannot fathom. I always feel at my happiest when I am near the ocean. My most contented moments are when I'm sitting on the shoreline or paddling around. I especially love the Irish Sea. It is so wild and untamed, which is how I prefer it to be, crashing against the sand, caring for nothing or no one in an almost tenacious manner and roaring as if announcing it's presence. It gives me such a feeling of freedom. I shall have to live near the sea when I have a home of my own.

I think I just spilled out a little bit of my soul there. I feel strange.

Anyway, this is what she wrote.

The sea is exactly like love.

It is an eternal mystery. Within it, there is always something more to be discovered, and many things that will never be. It is moody and changeable, calm and peaceful one minute, stormy and turbulent the next. It is dangerous. It is frightening. It is all powerful, the only force in the world which is completely unstoppable. It has the power to ruin and destroy, yet it is needed by all human beings to survive. It is beautiful, and should be respected.

Isn't that pretty? And so true....

I couldn't possibly agree more with your cousin...And just like you, I happen to be obsessed with the sea. I spend hours on google, hunting for photographs of the sea. :D

I love that description of the Irish sea--

I must go down to the sea again.

The Irish sea is wonderful. Ireland may not have much in comparison with other countries, but it is certainly beautiful.

I want to go down to the sea now! Mayhaps I shall go within the next few weeks.
