Wade into the surf
Let the waves curl around your legs
Wade deeper
Let the foam rise to your chin
Taste the salt
Keep swimming
Till the sand is far below your feet
Till you might be swept out by the tides
Till your swimming takes you nowhere
Yet if you turn back from there
You are not swimming in the Ocean
You are still only in the boundaries of the Land
The Ocean is
Out There
It is the vastness that will consume you without deigning to notice
Here where it is safe you can only tempt the Ocean
