Love as deep as the ocean
Imagine you are in a terrible marriage. Your wife ridicules you constantly and no matter what you do, it's the wrong thing. You find solace and worth on the water, either fishing or just enjoying the peace it offers. The ocean becomes your home away from home and you find that the comfort it offers is the closest thing to love that you know. I was raised by the ocean and worked on it for many years, Thus, I use allegory and metaphors (sea inspired) for most of my stories. The ocean can be an escape, it can be a destination. It can offer hope and adventure and give meaning. And if you listen it answers questions.
Book Excerpt
Shark's Breath
“Ah.” His eyes scoured the floor of the boat and the fish there. A couple still gulped at the air, their bodies rising a bit, a tail flapping. He rubbed his tummy. “Some good eating the next couple weeks.” Raising his eyes to the starlit sky he thanked the creator--thanked him again and sat in the boat thinking of the night, the stars, the fish and where at least a couple of the fish would be within a few hours. Morgan chuckled softly then gazed into the water watching the flicker of starlight and moonlight on the little peaks and valleys the tide created. Awareness of the solitude pulled ever so slightly at him, then more, and then he thought of his wife, Roz.
Morgan’s chin rested on his chest; he sighed deeply, “Why?” he said aloud. “Why’s she want me to do the markets up here?” He pondered the question, finally realizing that the markets had taken him away from Topsail and away from her. That was not a bad thing. Being away from Roz was always good.
