Song: "Oceans" by Pearl Jam.

True to his form as one of my best friends, Kevin Hanson read my blog, about the realization concerning the ocean, and emailed me back with an amazing quote concerning it. The quote was from John F. Kennedy during his speech at the America's Cup in the 1960's. It is as follows:

"I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it is because in addition to the fact that the sea changes and the light changes, and ships change, it is because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it we are going back from whence we came." -JFK-

Also staying true to his form, as those of you who know him will attest, Kevin also pointed out that it has been observed by scientists and the like that our blood actually has three times less salt than the ocean does. Nevertheless, I love the quote. Thanks Kev.
