Two friends and I were talking about fear, particularly one friend's fear of swimming in the ocean. I myself am not always comfortable swimming in the ocean (I blame jaws even though I never saw it) and i know rationally that my ocean fears are quite stupid and based on societal hysteria. Anyways, I saw this quote by Megan White Face and her perspective on the ocean was so different, so radical to me, but in a good way. It made me think beyond the regular binaries of how we consider the ocean and expanded my mental horizon. Thank you Megan. I will be sharing this with my friends.
“Ocean and Sky”
The sky is a copy of the ocean. Only it is upside down. The clouds are the waves that roll and toss about. The deep blue is the water, and all the birds are the fish in the ocean. The sky and the ocean are not different, really. They are quite the same, just in different places. Many people ponder about them both, looking for clues and answers.
