The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I think I love the ocean because it is constant and always changing. It gives and takes over and over and over. It stimulates all the senses at once.
And also, the ocean keeps the beach so close. And I love the beach. When I go there, I always gather shells and rocks and photos. I want to keep it with me. But when I get home, I am still home and no longer at the ocean and the beach. And the things I have taken make me miss it even more.
And also "shell" sounds like "Michelle" which is such a beautiful word.
