The ocean

Friday, January 13th, 2012

I go to sleep hearing the waves of the Indian Ocean as  they hit the rocks, and I wake up in the morning hearing the waves of the ocean. And as I write down Heavenletters I hear the waves of the ocean. (more…)

The sun on the Indian Ocean is so bright I cannot look at it. Waters would wash up in my heart and I could never get back to shore.

Sea Fever by John Masefield

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Who needs a 10-carat diamond when Nature gives us this:

And just as a photo changes in sunlight from one moment to the next, so does a raindrop on a leaf in autumn.
