Coming South, V7 2002
[2007-11-27]

Past and present journeys merge,
remembering a sea voyage with my father
when I was five.

In the arts and in literature,
the moving sea has been
presented as a sentient power,
moody and capricious:
or as an emotionless,
lifeless force
in unheeding nature.
Yet, because man is part of nature,
he will always find in the sea
a symbol of his own energy.
