“To look at the sea is to become what one is”
— Etel Adnan
Simplified Meaning:
When you look at the sea, it's like getting to know your true self. Imagine standing on a beach, watching the waves. The sea is vast and endless, just like our thoughts and feelings. It's calm sometimes, and stormy at other times, much like our emotions. Just as the sea doesn't change its nature, we too can learn to accept who we truly are without trying to be something we're not. By spending time in nature and reflecting on its serenity and power, it can remind us to understand and embrace our true selves. For example, if you're feeling stressed, looking at the sea can help you feel calmer and remind you of your inner strength. By accepting our true self, like the way we respect and admire the sea, we can find peace and clarity in our lives.
