“Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.” – Robert Henri
Having never, in the providence of God, been fortunate to live by the ocean, you may find it curious that I love the sea. My greatest wish as a child I can remember was to build a boat of my own and sail into the unknown. To do as John Denver sang so ably in Calypso, “to sail on a dream on a crystal-clear ocean; to ride on the crest of a wild raging storm.”
