World Oceans Day.
Even though I live just blocks from the Pacific Ocean, I am far removed from the life below the surface of the water.
Water:
- blue, sparkling on a sunny day
- greygreen, frothing on a wild and windy day
A peaceful or challenging surface for
- man and bird
- ships and sails
Are we aware of the abundance in the deep where
- life teems and grows
- fishes, mammals and plants swim and drift?

Our oceans deserve our respect, our care and our gratitude
- for the gifts of entertainment, travel and sustenance
- for being another dimension of our world.
