An image occupies my most intimate thoughts. In the shadow of fading light lies a vast body of water. In this boundless water resides every imaginable colour; they swirl and dance until there exist no distinctions, no possible differentiation between where one begins and another ends.

These deep waters also contains qualities: courage and cowardice, genius and stupidity. Cowardice and stupidity can be found on the surface, stopped by a glance, while genius and courage are in the depths. Dive...dive...dive...get down low into the dark obscured depths...

A rudderless ship wanders the surface...only the diver can know what wonders await in the deep.

An object of inward focus. The strength of the human mind resides in this uncanny ability for focus. It is of little consequence that the objects of our focus yield no certainty or absolutes...The matter is one about depth and profound persistence...the diver may never attain the pearls she seek. It is the dive, not its yield, that emboldens her soul.
