THE THING ABOUT THE SEA
Rhodes – “Your Soul

DSC00244

 

I am like the ocean.
Just like it, I am relentless,
hopeful.
Like it, I am trying.
See, the sea forever tries to
reach the shore
just to be rejected
over and over and over
again.
Still it tries uncountable times
to reach what it yearns for.
So does my love.
I keep trying to reach you with it,
my love.
You can reject me
over and over and over
again
– I don’t want to and I cannot
stop.
I won’t give up.
Except if you shape your shore
to cliffs of hatred and desperation.
Then I might cease
because I might have the will of the sea
but I don’t own it’s strength.

And unlike it, I don’t have
million chances to try
and succeed.

What I want to talk to you about is the calmness I always feel when I am at the ocean.
I am completely and utterly in love with the sea and the beach and the way it is so infinite and beautiful. I love the smell of the salty water, the sand on my feet, the breeze on my skin. Literally, the sea, for me the “mountain-girl”, is a miracle.
I always become very thoughtful when I am walking along the beach. I guess it’s too hard not to. And the sound of the waves always calms me – it’s as if the sea talks to me too.

I have been thinking a lot near there. I found some time for myself and finally, finally, finally some time to relax and to let my heart breathe for a little bit.
I guess I was even praying to the sea, and I cried.
And obviously all I did was talking to myself in my mind, thinking, considering, and just staring ahead into the nothingness.
Great moments.

As I came back I felt healed.
Some of the pain has been washed away and I started to seeing parts of myself that I thought were lost long ago.

Please always treasure the sea.
And if you want to think and breathe – go look for the ocean.
Sit down, recollect, close your eyes and listen.
Trust me you’ll figure yourself out, you’ll heal and you’ll find yourself.

Let’s hope what we found will last for a while.
