picture a wave. in the ocean. you can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. and it's there. and you can see it, you know what it is. it’s a wave.
and then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. but the water is still there. the wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. you know it's one conception of death for buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it's supposed to be.

🌊on the trough of the wave looking up,
crest will come again and again
in time the waves will lessen to ripples, ripples to glass
water always follows gravity
be it the moon or elevation
water can carve a canyon if it is patient enough-
water has been an ocean, a person, a plant, a bug, a river, many times over
many forms

I think that when sperm whales slow their heartbeat all the way down and point their noses to the bottom of the ocean, they enter a vast inner world where the horizon vanishes into a distant speck and solitary thoughts flow and crash like tectonic plates.
in my more profound, melancholy moments, I am a bug in a pond, contemplating the bubbles that pop on the surface. we are the same.

❤️you can’t examine it directly, only through its side effects. the feeling itself is beyond words, but we can make rough estimations of it through its byproducts. for me, the biggest one is a quieting feeling in my soul, like the thing in my chest stops kicking for a second when i’m with them. my constant desire to find the next big shiny thing fades away, and all i care about is understanding them as well as one human can understand another.
that, and the feeling that you get when you’re on one of those damned frogger rides and it drops from the top. everything in you screams that something is wrong but you cling to your harness and for a moment you laugh and you scream and you fly.

big transition from the west coast but this is all my dreams coming true
i’m scared but the world is wide and i deserve to have my footprints all over it and this is as good of a place as any to start
