A must-have for beach homes, backpacks, sandy towels, coffee tables and shelves of every shore-loving soul.

With thousands of art prints sold, the popular Be The Ocean poem has now officially made its debut into the literary world. Loved and labored-over by two admirers of the sea, the 66-page hardcover photo book contains rustically-textured words about living fully, feeling deeply, and embracing one's true self. Like the ocean this book is both full of wisdom and naturally decorative in the simplest of ways.

"Be the ocean. Be ever changing but always the same. Be simple and transparent with an entire world deep down inside full of odd and interesting creatures. Be calm, be still, but let yourself get wild and lost in a storm from time to time. Have many homes, on many shores, and be slightly different at every one. Let people in, let them feel free and surround them with every bit of your being - asking for nothing in return. Take in sharp rocks and all the broken glass and return them back as beautiful treasures. Be routine but never predictable, and be so loved that people spend their days sitting by your side. Be free and vast, and be deep and powerful, all the while being completely moved by something greater than yourself."
