I believe the power of the ocean can heal, inspire, comfort and revitalize the soul. One of God's most magnificent creations, it is both mesmerizing and intimidating. It is beautiful and humbling. It is the place where I can escape the troubles of the world and feel closer to God. The mesmerizing world beneath the ocean's surface has captivated human imagination for centuries. Underwater marine life is a realm of wonder, filled with vibrant colors, intricate ecosystems, and fascinating creatures. The ocean's beauty is tinged with danger, vastness, and limitlessness. The ocean provides space for physical activity: people row and paddle, cast lines, haul sails. Children love to run toward the water. We swim, boat, surf, fish, dig, carry buckets of water, build sand castles, bend down to collect shells and hermit crabs.
