The picture of an ocean is a vision of many wonders. A picture reveals a single moment in time where its setting were once still and at peace. A moment in the present, and the past. simple observations are often over looked even in the most detailed image. The peace of the sea can be seen in all perspectives of those who are a witness to its presence. Within time this picture will remain as it is, but amongst its presence on earth it will go through a gradual change. Transformations of the ocean will evolve as it drifts off into the waves of time. Soon we all come to the conclusion of realizing our truths and values to the oceans gift. the plentiful resources and life that it has created are in connection to us all. everything flows and is created by the sea, for the sea is life and is the gift of creation. Let not our eyes decieve us with the perception of a beautiful picture, for pictures are moments entrapped within time. Let the remaniss of our beautiful enviroment carrie on in our perceptions of the ocean images we see before us everyday.

I totally agree. The view of the ocean is a time for peace and tranquility. During my first kayaking experience, I had stopped paddling for a few seconds. I found myself dazing off out into the distance. I really wasn’t staring at anything particular nor was I thinking too much about anything. I just took in that moment and realized I haven’t been this calm and collective for a while. It was the first time in months where I stopped and took life a little slower than usual. It felt great. I felt as if this trip did a lot of that. There were times when we were allowed to spend some time and relax on the beach. I didn’t have the opportunity to do this all summer because of work. Having moments to relax, reflect and recollect all your thoughts is priceless. It really did mean a lot to me to have this opportunity especially for my alternative fall break. Thanks again.
I feel a similar tranquility as dankidy dank expressed earilier considering water. I have never gone kayaking but I have been on a boat, especially sail boats. Water brings about peace and you start appreciating nature much more when you stop and breath for a second. Just imagine if the water is actually dirty and filled with oil, trash, and elements not suppose to be found in the water. One of the main focal points of the trip is to get a person, especially college students to stop and appreciate nature. Do not take your environment for granted. The kayaking experience is a prime example of appreciating nature. This is the first step in helping to conserve the environment, appreciating your surroundings and trying to perserve them so they stay around for the future in a healthy condition
