The silence one can hear underneath the sea is deafening. The bleeps of the largers fish, the sound of bubbles going upwards. The sun creating strange shadows on the underwater scene. There is nothing as soothing for the troubled mind as a day spend snorkling. I believe this is what kept my sanity in a place that I so disliked but because of WW 2 we were not able to leave. I have spend many a tear added to the blue waters of the ocean. Many an outcry shrieked under water for fear someone might hear me. So much has passed those days that they now lie in the dim memories of my past and yet the scars remain. Be mindful of what you do unto others for it will remain with you forever.
