The Sea

The sea. I grew up on the Atlantic Coast. Steps from the sea. I have been living land-locked for 26 years. The sea never leaves your soul. It is part of you as you are part of it. We are made of salt and water – how can we not be drawn to salt and water? The sea is wet. But not wet like rain. It is molecularly different. I feel it on my skin. I become more alive in the sea. The sea renews me.
