A horizon's way of reminding you the ocean doesn't care about your deadlines.
means A view or picture of the sea, especially one taken in as a whole scene — waves, sky, and horizon together.
from Built in English on the model of 'landscape,' swapping in 'sea.' Landscape itself came from Dutch painters' term 'landschap' in the late 1500s–1600s, when depicting scenery became its own art genre; 'seascape' followed in the 1700s as painters turned the same framing out toward water instead of fields.
