I am a pagan, I openly identify with the water element of the earth. I feel most at home and attuned with the ocean. I feel drawn to and a deep need to associate with loggerhead turtles, that come on the sand on the coast of north carolina and lay their eggs. I am from North Carolina originally. My favorite activity in all the world is having a spiritual communion in nature while sitting on an empty beach at dawn.
I currently live in NJ. The beaches here are atrocious. People are so abusive to the nature, they are over crowded and gross. I feel no communion with nature. I just feel suffocated, like I do everywhere else.
My question is, for a couple of years I have felt depressed and unmotivated. I feel unhappy like I am always missing something in my life, despite having a fulfilling marriage and a wonderful child. Do you guys think it could be because I am so far from my ocean?

Could be something deeper.
More than the ocean.
Perhaps your spiritual path needs to be in connection to the One who created all.
Start a cleanup program of the beaches in your area. Sometimes doing something of that nature can be very fulfilling, it gives you a purpose and a sense of fulfillment.

Perhaps, but I would only be able to stand the people if I went in the spring or fall.

Anything that you do to help towards healing Mother Earth is helpful regardless of how little it is, it is a step in the right direction and sometimes that's all it takes, is one person taking one step in the right direction, and who knows others may take notice and start doing the same thing, it's always a possibility.osay

ETA sorry for the spelling mistake in the title, it should be alternatively
What stuff? The ocean? Nature? NJ? People? Depression?

And you're entitled to it but that doesn't necessarily mean everybody else is going to agree with it.
