The Beautiful Blue Pacific

Showing my visiting grandchildren the Pacific Ocean makes me appreciate it all over again.  Just driving over the hill to the ocean, it is so beautiful to see and it makes me think again of all that the oceans give us.  Ninety seven of every 100 drops of water on earth are seawater from the oceans and scientists who study the oceans think that as many as two million kinds of animals may live there.  The oceans are so vast and deep that, if the tallest mountain in the world was sitting on the bottom of the ocean, it would still be covered by water.  Weather patterns of the world begin in the oceans and the bounty of the oceans supports all life on earth.

I have snorkeled in the Seychelles and Belize and been swimming with the pearl divers in Fiji but being in the ocean is really "not my thing".  I don't like sand that I can't seem to get rid of and I am not sure what I am going to encounter as I venture out into the water.  But I do enjoy the wonder of the ocean; particularly in the early morning or evening when things are calm and I can watch the sunrise or the moonlight dancing on the water.

This summer, however, seeing the shear love of the beach and ocean from my grandchildren's point of view gives me their perspective.  After camp is out the first thing they want to do is go to the beach and play in the ocean.  To them the ocean is to enjoy and have fun in and they are totally at home there.  I can hardly tear them away to go in for dinner.  I take my reading and keep a watchful eye on them and enjoy their fun vicariously.  I hope that they will always have these wonderful oceans to enjoy and that they will grown up with a deep appreciation for what the oceans give us and how we must honor and take care of them.
