A friend once asked me, “Why do you love the Ocean? Why are you advocating and voicing for it’s protection? What’s so special about it?” Well, I’ve lived within a walking distance of the Ocean. Over the course of twelve years, I’ve waded in the Ocean, swum in it, walked along its edge, fallen into it, snorkelled and dived maasively in it, explored it, and occasionally almost drowned in it. I’ve seen the Ocean in its many moods; the calm, ironed waters of a lagoon; the rough, angry waves tossing boats from side to side in a storm; the playful waves that ripple back and forth on the beach and glitter invitingly in the sunlight; the ocean at night, with its slick, black waves that heave and recede intimidatingly as if daring you to come explore its magnificent, and magical existence of it’s depths. Whatever mood the Ocean is in, it never fails to fill me with wonder. Wonder at its seeming limitlessness. Its sheer power. Its beauty and majesty. See, a pool can’t compare to the Ocean. In a pool, you can’t look at the bottom and marvel at the different colours of rock and sand that lie there. A pool doesn’t host countless species of fish that dart between patches of coral and seaweed, or crabs that burrow in the sediment accumulated on the floor. Sure, you can swim in a pool, but the Ocean is so much more than that. It’s a home. I haven’t even started on how rich and abundant the ecosystem in the Ocean is. Talk about biodiversity and the life below it. Not only that, but it’s immeasurably vast. There are parts of the Ocean where no ship has ever sailed, depths no human has ever seen nor explored. It’s finite, of course, but it’s mysterious, different and intriguing. The Ocean is far too large for me to wrap my head around, and that’s part of the reason I love it so much. Anytime I am standing on the shores, looking out to see miles upon miles of Ocean unbroken by a single rock or island, I am in awe of how large it is, and how small I am. It makes me feel insignificant, but in a good way. The Ocean is powerful. It's vengeful and we must respect it. It's peaceful and calming. It speaks a language that can send you to sleep with the lullaby of the waves gently lapping the shore. Or it can wake you with its mighty roar, smashing against the rocks, warning you not to enter. For me, the Ocean is a magical world, full of possibility. Swimming deep below or maybe just along the surface of the Ocean water, letting the waves dictate my body’s movements as I occasionally come up to take gulps of air that smell distinctly salty or when I take those gulps of air from my gas tank, I am completely filled with that feeling of insignificance. Except that’s not quite the best way to put it; the word insignificant has a negative connotation. Perhaps the best words to describe the way the Ocean makes me feel is that it makes me feel like part of something much larger. A tiny, but essential cog in the intricate, complicated gear system of the universe. #OceanEnthusiast #OceanLife
