I have always loved the beach. There is just something special about the smell of the salty water and the feel of it running over my feet, the wind in my face, and the gentle roar of the ocean waves crashing onto the beach. I snap the picture quickly before the warm water brushed against my feet. Chipped seashells lay beneath the water's surface, making soft noises as they run against each other. The wave turns to foam and rolls against the sand, only to return back from where it came. Looking back at this picture, I am reminded of how I am thankful to experience such a beautiful thing as the beach. After all, it is the beach, where life is different. Time does not move minute to minute or hour to hour, as it does in other places far away, but moment to moment. People are close to the currents and plan their days according to the tides, and spend much time in the light of the sun. Even when my feet cannot touch the sand and the salty ocean water, I realize that my life, and everyone's life, is like an ocean. Waves will try and knock you down and push you back to where you started, but once you learn to fight through them, the entire ocean can belong to you. That is definitely one of the best simile I have heard in a while. I found a quote from Isaac Newton that I find interesting. It also happens to fit the theme of this conversation. "To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me." Go discover something in your ocean that you never knew before. Life is too short to jut dream, so you must go and do.
