THE MAN AND THE SEA

To you, Man.While you ´re standing here right now, glancing shyly and listening to the hum of my waves, you seem to be so apprehensive. The infinity of my waters is concerning you. You behave as if nothing has ever connected us during all these years. But we both know how much we mean to each other. Would you go along with it?

Do you remember the very beginnings? Surely no, you´ re so small. I had been existing for so long and then you appeared and gave the meaning to my existence. Now you´ re saying that I´ m a moody friend because of the storms and quarrels I have caused. But look how much we have achieved together. Look at everything that´ s around . Now the world is not a secret for you.

Your great-grandfathers: Magellan, Columbus and Vasco da Gama had trusted me years ago and we have “opened” the Earth for you. If the first travelers had not trusted me perhaps you would be lonely and small today. But you have everything, you can travel, learn about other cultures. That´ s your power. And my power is you.

You know, Man, I love you. That´ s why I´ d like the bond between us never fade. But you also have to want it. You have to trust and fanthom me . You have to love the sea as it loves you.
