Why does the sea represent to us, all this spiritual importance? Is it its vast space which engulfs our sight? Is it changing state? Is the horizon, at which the sky and the sea meet hold a visual effect that tranquilizes us? Is it the different shades of blue mixed with white? Is it the breeze of the sea when we sit beside it? Is it the hissing sound of the sea? Well may be all this. But sure the human being longs subconsciously to the period when he was an embryo, being amphibian, breathing through the water that surrounded it once. It may give the person the same serenity which he or she once had in the womb of their mother, and they may be in dire need for it in the daily life. The sea anywhere in the world, possesses a magic that we can't explain exactly. It has a language of its own, that connects to the subliminal level in us. But sure this is accentuated when we have our blues and get to the sea front, to sit by the sea, befriend it and talk it even without words. I think after a quarter of an hour looking to the sea and contemplating, meditating, will make a positive difference on the person. The sea is unlike the river, it may be an equivalent to the depth of the person psyche. They may both enter into a silent dialogue. But sure the might of the sea is greater. It is a sort of a big emotional charger to the person. Why do lovers always go to a water front, and more to the sea when they are in a city by the sea side? Why the sea has been considered in the Greek mythology as a God, Poseidon? Why the sea is still beholding such glory, dignity and awe? Do the fluids of our bodies reverberate with the saline water of the sea? Do the sun and the wind complement the effect on us?
