The Ocean

I'm not sure I would be who I am without it. I don't know how people fall in love without it.

I think that every major relationship in my life has been impacted by her mighty presence. From college in Florida, to all those summer camping trips with friends, to the now constant influence of coastal Virginia and North Carolina...

Water's presence opens one up, allows fuller breath, soothes the soul, calms the brain, relaxes the body. Above all, it is ultimately honest and true.

It is home.

Honest water, which ne'er left man i' th' mire.
-William Shakespeare
