"I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean." from the song "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack When I first saw the ocean as a child, I was in awe of its waves, both mild and wild, crashing onto the shore as I waded through warm sand. Still, its massive presence renders me breathless decades later. I long to be there now.
