It is easy to lose track of the world around you when the constant action is trying to keep up with the daily pace of life. 
 This experience has helped me reconnect with life and it has helped me realize the bigger more complete world in which I live. 
 Now, when I think about the ocean, I'll not just thing about the water, but every organism, (microscopic and enormous) that inhabit and is connected to it - I'll think of the ocean as a part of the continuing process and cycle of the world and life.
