Why the ocean's near the shore

This cross reminds me of Scarecrow's longing for a brain in the Wizard of Oz: "Oh, I could tell you why the ocean's near the shore. I could think of things I never thunk before. And then I'd sit, and think some more."

Land is interesting. Ocean is interesting. But all humans are instinctively drawn toward the spot where land meets water. It is the intersection of these two realities that attracts and mesmerizes us. Most brains can figure out "why the ocean's near the shore," but can you put into words the reason why we all love to be there?
