It certainly has a calming effect when it is as still as this - not sure what effect a stormy sea has but it is certainly exciting when one is watching it rather than being on it.

Having come back from Hawaii recently I know I love the ocean because it the sound is calming and knowing what lives beneath the surface is very exciting. A whole other world lives there for us to discover. And that definitely gets me thinking.
I LOVE to think by the sea... thoughts are somehow bigger and more exciting there. LOVE the picture... where is it? x

ReplyDeleteMostly it makes me think how much I'd like to be beside it doing nothing!

We love the sea because its rhythm mimics our heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteYour quote. Your pic. Your comment. Put them all together, and they made me think for a moment. And then gave me a laugh. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWell, we love the sea because for the most part, it's very soothing. It can be wicked, too, though. Maybe we love it for that reason, as well?
ReplyDeleteYou are at the seashore? I'm envious. I love the sound of a gentle surf.
ReplyDeleteAfter last week's tsunami in Japan, it makes you wonder how an element of nature can have so many good and bad sides to it?
That makes perfect sense to me. Enjoy your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWe're all drawn to water.. no matter the form. Kids love puddles.. we like bigger puddles.
ReplyDeleteand I like that you left it untitled as well:)
ReplyDeleteenjoy..

I've been thinking too, in the midst of concrete and trees that have just begun to bud.
ReplyDeleteLove the post.

ReplyDeleteBig smile here. Enjoy yourself, Julie.
ReplyDeleteme, too ... the mountains do this for me, as well... but I do miss the sea and will need to visit it again soon

ReplyDeleteOh good. This gives me permission to occasionally make a blog post out of 2 words. Or so.
