Why do humans love the beach?  The view of the sea reminds you of your true
nature:  vast, open, uncluttered, and
full of possibilities.  At times the sea
is still; at others it reveals its full power. 
It speaks in whispers and roars. 
It does not disappear.  It is
always there, no matter how many waves come and go.  This is the womb from which you arose and to
which you shall return.  It calls you
silently as you walk its shores.  Man
cannot harness the ocean.  It is a
living, pulsating thing greater than the human, and so you look upon it with
wonder and a bit of respect.  You are
looking at the Source, my friend.  The
Creator is all around you, but at the shoreside, the Source reveals itself in
ways both subtle and profound.  The beach
is a place of contemplation for the soul, whether or not the human mind
understands this.
