Far into the future, mother earth near-eclipsed by ocean, you sit adrift in an endless sea of blue-green. By nature, & evolution indeed, we seem directly linked with the water, & as the water, figuratively & literally.

The dynamics move slow & deliberate, washing over like the waves they interpret – light & refreshing/ heavy & all-encompassing.
