When I feel overwhelmed with destruction, Let me go down to the sea.
Let me sit by the immeasurable ocean
And watch the surf
Beating in and and running out all day and all night.
Let me sit by the sea
And have the bitter sea winds
Slap my cheeks with their cold, damp hands
Until I am sensible again.
Let me look at the night sky
And let the stars tell me
Of limitless horizons and unknown universes,
Until I am grown calm and strong once more.
