When my pre-teen nephew Adam visited me when I lived at the beach in Malibu, California, it was hard to ignore the fact that he would come completely alive when we took our walks on the sand each day. A sense of wellbeing, happiness, and freedom seemed to instantly wash across him, and it was a joy to see this young man spring to life by the sea. Not long afterward, Adam and his family moved to a Caribbean island, and the sea became a constant part of his happy existence. This Sea Song is for him.
