Ted
Oceans
I was thinking about my friend Ted, who - more than any other person I know - is a child of the ocean. I was also thinking about how much the ocean is a part of who I am too. When I'm on the east coast, it calls to me like an old lover. And when I'm away from it, a little part of me shrivels up and closes off.
To the Greeks, Ocean was the son of Ouranos the Sky and Gaia the Earth. With his bride/sister, he spawned three thousand Oceanids - nymphs or spirits of the ocean. Maybe it's the Oceanids that instill in me such yearning. All I know is that one day, I need to deliver a present to my soul and move to a place where I can be much closer to an ocean than I am now.
