An overcast early-spring day in the northeastern U.S., and we’re putting the final touches on the first issue of Sea Stories. The clouds are heavy with moisture from the Atlantic, bringing the scent of salt a few miles inland, and every now and then a shower releases raindrops - some trickling down the windows, more seeping deep into the soil to nourish the coming growth, all flowing eventually back to the seas from whence they came. A few drops bead on the powerlines and telephone cables, waiting for the evening sunlight that will slant in underneath the clouds and make them glow from within like jewels. The submissions to this journal have been like these raindrops - little packets of beauty distilled from oceans near and distant. We’ve been able to array some on these electronic pages for your pleasure, but even those submissions that aren’t included here have helped nourish this project and given it substance, direction, and energy. Thanks to all who have submitted their work, and to all you who have come to wade in the waters, touch toes to sand or rock, and breathe deep the air. As the online expression of The Sea Stories Project, this journal aims
to help nurture a sea ethic and build a community of ocean-lovers worldwide.
Please use our guestbook below to let us know you were here, sign up
for our mailing list, and tell us what you think about our first issue.
We aim to make this project as participatory as possible, and will post
your responses and comments in future issues, to nurture whatever conversations
may ensue. Welcome to this first offering of Sea Stories! |
