Hi Roger! I've never thought to google that before! I've been lucky enough in my life to have lived on some of the wildest coastlines with magnificent horses. The best place I've found is the Oregon coast; waves there have the full white manes, the sprindrift flying back, and the pounding sound. The way it all comes together in my imagination is the connection between waves, horses and emotions as found in Euripides' play. Because he refuses to honour emotional life, Hippolytus' own horses/waves smash him against the rocks. I remember my shock of recognition when I first read this play.

Hi, Cam! And thanks for "furious machine"! The sea has many moods. It's all weather.

Deborah, hi! And thanks! And you're absolutely right. To have one's choices challenged, and then to scrupulously examine them—this is the real value of the Sphere.

Nemo. Yes. That's the heart of it. Living at the heart of the "constant never" --- it's amazing how calm it is. Beautiful calm.


Still dreaming on those unsettled lines, watching for something to resolve . . .


Thank you!
