Heart of the Sea

The heart of the sea is a mother's heart She is the great ancestral mother of all life on the planet Deep within the mysterious waters of her womb she conceived and gave birth to the first life form which evolved into more complex organisms that live on the land and in the air She is an essential part of the planet's ecosystem feeding the clouds which bring rain and snow that sustain life on the earth Through tiny ocean plants and photosynthesis she removes carbon dioxide from the air and converts it to more than one half of the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere She is the great food provider to the planet having her own internal food chain with tiny phytoplankton at the lower end and enormous sharks and whales at the upper end She feeds creatures from the land and air that venture to fish in her waters She is a thing of beauty even in her enraged fury with massive waves towering over a hundred feet and the seething white foam of her waters This has been her action even before the advent of man on the planet Man must respect her behaviour or suffer death and destruction if he does not She is a thing of beauty in her calm stillness under the setting sun which lights up the evening sky in its glorious splendour and paints a glistening beam of light on the water's surface in line with the sun and surrounds it with brilliant colours of the rainbow
