The Beach
You know, I love the beach. There is just something about standing in the waves, being knocked over again and again, looking as far as you can see to where it looks like the sky and the water meet. I feel so small (which is something I rarely feel). It really inspires my imagination to swim in the ocean. I'm always thinking things like "I'm swimming with every wild shark that's alive" and "I'm in the same water as the bones of every shipwrecked pirate who couldn't swim well." So much has happened in the ocean! It's fun to swim around and think about it.
When you are in a car you tend to think that the oceans seperate all of the continents, but when you are swimming or boating, you start to think that in a funny way, the oceans connect everything.

You know.. . when you're kayaking on the ocean you tend to see villages from the back, as they weren't designed to be seen, and you start to see things a little differently. . . :-) Kind of like railroads. . . and rivers. . .
I know you wanted to write that!
OK, that I'm swimming with every wild shark that's alive is a very scary notion. But it would be scarier to swim with undead domesticated sharks -- like some mad scientists zombie army of shark pets! Pure terror.
The ocean is awesome. I just went down to rehomotha...I mean rehoboth...today and it was great. Ilove jetskiing in the ocean too. hitting those breakers and flying like 8-10 feet in the air is freaking awesome.
Dude, that sounds awesome! You have to take me some time!
While the ocean is awesome for swimming, it is also cool for boating. When you get far enough away from land, you can see more stars than you ever imagined were in the night sky, and you become more acutely aware of the whirring, humming sounds of life all around you.
