Longfellow

"Wouldst thou - so the helmsman answered -
Learn the secret of the sea?
Only those who brave its dangers
Comprehend its mystery!"

As Longfellow has reminded us, the sea has its secrets, its dangers, its mystery. I think it will always be that way - so also life. How else would you have it? Yearning to understand the mystery seems to me to be inherent in the human spirit.
