Magnificent ocean,
I am scared of you.
I am scared of knowing, somewhere on earth, I could sink that deep.
I am scared of what you hide in those depths. I am scared of the creatures, big, small, known, unknown.
I am scared of the things you could destroy. Your rage.
Your magnificent power.
At the same time, I admire it. I admire you.
I love you for your unknown depths, your creatures, your rage. You make me feel so comforted when I, too, am raged. When we share it, I feel understood.
I love your being. I love that you are here, alive, moving, caring. I love to walk along or through you, as long as I don't have to go too deep.
Because I am still scared.
Maybe that is a good thing. Some things on this earth were made to be feared.
I think you are such a thing. Magnificent, and to be feared.
I hope to see you soon.
All my love.
