MAN OF THE SEA IRELAND

THE OCEAN IS THE EARTH'S BLOOD AND THE TIDE IS ITS THROBBING PULSE. To live by the tide, not by time is a practice by which coastal and sea dwellers live our lives. To be in tune with the tide is to be in tune with the earth. To choose to surf, swim, fish, sail, paddle, walk or row at a specific stage of tide is to be at one with our environment. It may be that the tide gives access to ports for work, allows surf spots to break best or maybe our favourite swimming spot is safer at a specific time of the tide so we plan life around that event keeping us connected to the pulse of the earth. To arrange our days and other commitments around the movement of the earth's tides and cycles is to truly be present in this ever demanding world in which we live. The Ocean gives us life and we must protect and honour it, not pollute or destroy it.
