"The cure for anything is salt water:

sweat, tears, or the sea".

 - Isak Dinesen

The waters edge has always captivated and held our attention.

An instinctive act of charting a complex pattern? A primal urge? Earlier?

Who could know. Do we need to?

Sometimes understanding is lost through too much speculation - attempts to pigeon hole mystery into sets of rules. We need, at times, to simply be.

And heal.

" ...There is magic in it. Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reverie - stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region ...

...Yes, as everyone knows, meditation and water are wedded forever."
