The thing I love the most about the ocean is the energy. It is generally a calming pulse that seems to fill my spirit. It is something you can sense without actually seeing or hearing it. Just being near an ocean allows you to feel that energy. Being able to wade out into the ocean, to float or swim in it -- it is like a religious experience, like being directly connected to the Creator.
I don't think I would ever take it for granted, even if I lived here and experienced it every day.
Truthfully, I get a similar sense of energy from digging in the dirt or walking barefoot on the ground, but the ocean energy is much more active and easier to feel.
Both the land and the water are filled with life and share energy with all creatures that touch them. We (humans) have managed to divide them with borders and laws, but they do not recognize the foolishness of people. They treat all creatures equally.
Through the land, through the waters, even through the air -- we are connected. We are connected to nature. We are connected to one another. And we are connected to the Creator.
Ain't life grand?

PS -- I am back at Estacion Cafe today. Perhaps I'll walk a little farther tomorrow.
