Crosses by the Sea

standing on a mountain cliff looking out onto the ocean. I could see countless wooden crosses floating on the water as far as the horizon. Beside each cross was a person—each one had their own cross floating with, or near, them—within arms reach. Some people were holding on to their cross to help them keep afloat. Others were actually lying and resting on their cross. These people kept positioning themselves to yet others who were swimming near their individual crosses.
