Exploring the mighty ocean: A perspective

Have you ever sat in a place and wondered from where this vast ocean comes? What is beneath the mighty ocean? My curious, nerdy self sat on the white beach. The breeze whispered hello in a gentle manner, leaving me with a sense of relief. The ocean, which seems mighty to most, is a vast blue canvas for me. Every time I look at it, I find myself immersed in its depth.

Being interested in diving and snorkeling, today is my moment to explore the deep ocean. Where life first took off a million years ago. I put on my necessary mask, snorkel, and fins. Finally, after years of curiosity, I got to know the mighty ocean.

Thanks to climate change and severe pollution, I found chunks of plastic surfacing, which disgusted me. However, when I kept going deeper, the water appeared when bluish and mesmerizing.

There are so many things we can learn from the ocean and its species.

• The deep ocean is an endless source of possibilities and mysteries waiting to be explored. Similarly, life is also filled with mysterious twists, re-shaping our lives at each turn.
• The deep ocean also signals that light is always present in the dark. The angler fish is living proof of it.
• Life is full of moments, so if you find yourself crawling over your past, regretting the over marks and dull, silly moments, just know that this will pass. Like a wave, it passes.
• Life is a process of death and birth. Nothing good lasts way too long. Each day, the tiger shark goes hunting. It teaches us a vital lesson in life — regardless of what happens, the show must go on.
• The ocean on the surface seems so soothing, like your grandmother’s love after the big Sunday lunch, but deep inside, it carries profound wisdom and several hidden scars.
• The ocean is the oldest element on earth. It doesn’t see your shape, size, or colour. It welcomes you with open arms and eases your soul. There’s a vital lesson there- the value of inclusivity. This world is so diverse; hence, the value of acceptance needs to be cultivated.
• According to some ancient belief systems, the ocean cleanses our soul and aura. What we are carrying inside it helps to wash away all these minor to major worries.
• Every drop counts in the ocean, and it justifies life — how we are on the same boat. How subtly they narrate the very meaning of life — every one of us the same.
• The ocean reminds us of our infinite potential. The deep ocean, which gives us shivers down the body, holds so much power and unparalleled hidden truth.

At the end of the day, this is how I see the ocean. Calm on the surface and carrying deep wisdom inside. Mother Nature beautifully says how it fits in our reality. The ocean refreshes not just our minds but also our souls on a very deep level.
