Great passage from a recent read; "...but now, standing in front of the great Atlantic, she felt the pulsing of the waves, felt the power and breadth of the water as it bled into the horizon, endless and liquid like the earth's lifeblood. It made her feel alive, unlike anything she'd felt under the broad, flat skies of home. As she stared out at the dark blue vastness, her kinship to every person who'd ever lived by the water, yet at the same time making her feel very, very insignificant".
