The paradox of the sea is its dynamism and its constancy. Every instant, the waters are shifting and moving, swelling, receding, rising and falling. Waves pull at one another, collide, mount into the air, and crash against the shore with noise and confusion, and sometimes even violence. And yet, with all this disorder and commotion, the sea overall is so level that we can see the curve of the world, so constant that the sound lulls us into meditation. As stormy and intense as the ocean can be, if you look far enough into the distance, there is always a wholly straight and calm horizon line—an anchoring focal point that marks the balance between sea and sky, above and below.
