A CASEY HERITAGE DRAWN FROM THE SEA Sitting on the jetty. Deep as the ocean are the thoughts that come pound- ing over one’s be- ing. “Who am I, oh sea?” “I am me,” and in this is contained the goal of a life- time. ALONE WITH VASTNESS. JUST FIFTEEN MINUTES AWAY FROM RBCHS LIVES THE SEA. ITS SHORES CAN DO MUCH TO BRING ONE TO A BASIC STATE OF CREATIVE SOLITUDE. GIVEN TIME, IT KNITS TO- GETHER THAT FATIGUED SPIRIT, ONE’S HUMANITY SHATTERED BY ACADEMIC, PERSONAL. AND SOCIAL DIS- TRACTIONS. ITS IMMENSITY COAXES ONE TO DREAM UN- FETTERED BY LIMITATIONS OF PRACTICALITY, TO BRING TO THOUGHTFUL BIRTH BA- SIC PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH TO BASE A FUTURE LIFE STYLE. THE SEA UNDER- STANDS. IT GENTLY TURNS ONE INWARD, A DIRECTION FRO M WHICH ONE SOON LEARNS TO GO UPWARD. 10
