I think about the stamina of the ocean, and I realize that it's an inadequate personification. Stamina implies a limit, an cessation of action, but the ocean continues, without hardship, without exertion. It harnesses the energies moving through it, and never relents. Against this ceaseless erosion, we have set barriers to discourage it's ability to change the coastline. And while, in the span of timelessness that the ocean resides in, such efforts will be eroded, they are not useless. They serve a purpose... they are a resistance to the inevitable, and in the space that such resistance resides, all of human potential is possible. Our ability to create the space between necessary action and survival gives rise to all of our achievement.

I like what you say as much as I do your image. Your words give an extra dimension to my view.

Thanks, that's good to hear. I often wrestle with the pros and cons of giving insight into my own inspiration and allowing others to build their inspiration on their own.

Some of us are much less able to grasp the feelings to examine and then articulate them. But when an artist shares their own, and it reflects ours, it brings ours more into focus and so we appreciate the image with a new depth.
Personally, I like the artist's story much more than an image with no words at all.

I'm coming to see it that way. Perhaps I've been hiding behind my own shyness. While I do feel it's important to get people to open their own eyes, it's also important to show them the direction of meaning that is inspiring.
