“Water is the raw visible emotion, Of the magical face of mother nature,
Her mental state and pure expression,
We live by the sun, We feel by the moon,
The power of gravity, The force of passion,
The flow of the river, Like the flow of present being,
Moment to moment of emotional currents, Tides of impulse and inspiration,
The waves of the ocean, The ups and downs of emotion,
Spirit and gut reaction, Storms of energy, joy and affection,
Breaking waves fighting and crashing, Intense anger, rage and depression,
The calm euphoria of a vast lake, Evaporation from an opium high,
But like rain, we must fall and feel,
Water can ruin and water can heel,
Water is the most powerful element,
We are two-thirds water, All emotion, Surf it.”
(Beth 2014)
