Being like the sea

Being like the sea

Someone said

I couldn't be as wide and big as the sea

I couldn't be a being that could accept everything

Then an old man sitting nearby began to speak

Being like the sea is to be who you are

Sometimes calm

Sometimes powerful

Sometimes gentle

Sometimes rough

Sometimes dark

Sometimes dazzling

Sometimes warm

Sometimes cold

Sometimes visible far

Sometimes invisible

Sometimes low

Sometimes high

Sometimes empty

Sometimes full

but always there

always just there as it is

Being like the sea is to be who you are
