In Praise of the Ocean...

"The shore means many things to many people. Of its varied moods the one usually considered typical is not so at all. The true spirit does not reside in the gentle surf that laps a sun drenched bathing beach on a summer day. Instead, it is on a lonely shore... Continue reading
