The Ocean That Dreamed of the Sky

The ocean once envied the sky’s endless openness and asked the wind what it felt like to touch the stars. The wind laughed and said the ocean didn’t know its own depth. For centuries the ocean pondered this, sending waves in rhythms that mirrored the sky’s breathing. One day, during a rare stillness, the ocean realized that the sky was only infinite above, while it was infinite below. The ocean no longer envied the sky; instead, it invited the stars to reflect on its surface every night, creating a meeting place where the two infinities could kiss.
