Aquatic Associations
Being wholly and completely a landlubber the sea holds great mystery for me, the vastness alone lends itself to myth and legend. I relate quite well to the maps of antiquity that note 'here be dragons' in those uncharted waters.
Imagination can fill in the rest as I find myself much more comfortable beside a bubbling creek with feet planted on terra firma.
