What does the sea mean for you?

There are some famous quotations saying:
"Most of us, I suppose, are a little nervous of the sea. No matter what its smiles may be, we doubt its friendship" H.M. Tomlinson

"Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think" Robert Henri

"The greatest sea makes one a great sceptic" Richard Jefferies

Recently, I received some pictures of two Greek coastal towns, posted by a Greek friend. Actually, I stood looking at them for a long time and I could see to what extent she loves the sea. I guessed that because it was wide like her heart, which loved helping others.
Or because she might be looking forward to a significant thing in the future as she looks out on the horizon over there,
Or perhaps she was thinking deeply,
Or because she might have a clear soul like the air around and above the sea,
Or maybe all of the above. The sea gives no false impressions, I think.

it's very calming and relaxing to me. I love living by the ocean. I don't really believe in astrology, but I'm a Cancer and subsequently a crab.

I used to live by the sea when I was young, but now I am far from it. The , southisea is calmingng and possesses regenerative abilities.

I think people like the sea because it is sometihng you can envelop yourself into and it is different/diverse like land.

People may fear it beacuse they are not able to use all of their sences. Some don't like to swim further than they can see the bottom. Or maybe its slippery nature does not allow them to quickly help themselves if something goes wrong.

Just hear the sound it produces, besides smell it is beautiful.
And walk on its sand and feel when it touches your feet........wonderful.
It means peace for me.

The beach, where everyone goes if they're popular and I work by it, in a nature preserve so it's verdant heavy trees everywhere, banyan trees, tourists but mostly the cleaming bright blue ocean and the east european guy who vends hot dogs and heard my brother and me speaking russian and is so sweet to us :) How nice it feels to lie on the sand, to get darker skin and white hair, exhilarating and exciting and like finally SOMEPLACE and not just sitting at home but running the welcome desk and speaking with foreigners and running around and being bored and shitting around with your friends and doing illegal shit...
