1. THE MAN AND THE SEA
To you, Man.
While you ´re standing here right now, glancing shyly and
listening to the hum of my waves, you seem to be so
apprehensive. The infinity of my waters is concerning you.
You behave as if nothing has ever connected us during all
these years. But we both know how much we mean to each
other. Would you go along with it?
Do you remember the very beginnings? Surely no, you´ re so
small. I had been existing for so long and then you appeared
and gave the meaning to my existence. Now you´ re saying
that I´ m a moody friend because of the storms and quarrels I
have caused. But look how much we have achieved together.
Look at everything that´ s around . Now the world is not a
secret for you.
Your great-grandfathers: Magellan, Columbus and Vasco da
Gama had trusted me years ago and we have “opened” the
Earth for you. If the first travelers had not trusted me perhaps
you would be lonely and small today. But you have
everything, you can travel, learn about other cultures. That´ s
your power. And my power is you.
You know, Man, I love you. That´ s why I´ d like the bond
between us never fade. But you also have to want it. You have
to trust and fanthom me . You have to love the sea as it loves
you.
