Hi Im Bas,
I'm a marine scientist in the UK, working in Marine Conservation.
I love to travel in the Mountains and near the Oceans.

I hope you enjoy this site as much as I enjoyed creating it?

"The first time I saw the Ocean
I was overwhelmed with emotion
Desiring to untie former habituation
and stay behind, my sojourn to investigate
the unfamiliar confidant
Riveted by the timeless, infinite sea
washing my feet with warm salt water
my long lost friend who missed me
I stayed a while, and left mourning
I dreamed of the waves, rolling higher
beckoning me home, I heard my name called
in the warm sea zephyr

.....then I met a beauty of another persuasion
magnificent mountains filled me with awe
climbing high peaks gasping for air
finding a place where I am a speck in the lower heavens
sharing miles of lower vast land laying bare
and I asked "do I belong" ? am I home?
I tarried a while, and left mourning
and I dream of the mountains calling my name
The majestic awe of the wondrous vortexes

......the irony is, I belong no where
For if I did, I'd be bound by limits, suppressed
to the endless places that may call my name
beckoning me to an inspirational place
instilling awe, and wonderment of fate
refreshingly enlivened, the inner man graced

I do know.........I don't belong here
there are neither the mountains nor the oceans, I speak of........
......but when the voice calls my name clearly
I will know whence it comes and shed tears
when I'm called home,
to learn the meaning of where I belong..."
