See the sea.

In order to see the sea, you must open your mind and heart.

But first, close your eyes and open your mouth.

Breathe in the salty air, and let it toss your hair around in the ocean breeze. Open your eyes, and let your eyes tear up as the intense blue of the sky and shine of the ocean fill your vision. The sun is shining and you feel your skin darkening with every passing second.

Then step into the hot sand, and let it burn the soles of your feet with every step you take. It's so hot, so you run towards the sea, that giant mass of water ahead of you. Let the rest of the world around you melt into oblivion as you run.

You stop at the shoreline, where the sand is no longer hot; instead, it feels like a grainy yoga mat. You look at your bare feet, and squeeze your toes tightly and let the brownish mush tickle you. Then you look out and see a wave of blue and white crashing towards you, getting smaller and smaller as the swell rushes toward your toes, splashing up at your knees.

The water is ice cold, and suprised, you jump backwards. You let out a squeal, and then laugh at your childish outburst just as another wave runs over your wet feet.

With every passing wave, the water is warmer. And so is your heart.

Can you see the sea?
