Someone who has never seen or been near the ocean will never understand; even some who have do not. But for those who do, know that for some the ocean is more than just a body of water or "part of the scenery", as essential as breathing for complete vitality of energy and lightness of being. For some of us were born with its song in our soul, the most alive when we are near it, fading a little the further and longer we are away from the waves, like a mermaid who has spent too long on land. They say "home is where the heart is", and for the freespirits who have no "home", gypsy souls feeling almost constant compulsion of wanderlust, their heart belongs to the ocean, always drawn back to it, for rarely anywhere but there can their mind find calm and their soul peace.
