Where Land and Sea Meet

Water, as a theme, has always represented the spiritual to me. For many years my dreams were of leaky houses (the spiritual trying to find a way into my life) or being adrift on the ocean, giant swells lifting me up and setting me down, or being on a tiny boat as massive ships moved all around me. This image represents balance to me, the spiritual mixing naturally with the physical, an interplay between the two strongest forces on the Earth. In the physical universe, in a place like this where land and sea meet, the sound of waves washing in over rocks and then retreating is a comforting sound to me, more than a gurgling, less than a roar.
