Wings, Waves, and even fish, arose out of a dynamic of conditions on this planet together... a great whirlpool. In this picture I see the energy, of which the bird is only one aspect, swirling together.... Poet Gary Snyder has said the same of humans: "Two conditions--gravity and a livable temperature range between freezing and boiling--have given us fluids and flesh. The trees we climb and the ground we walk on have given us five fingers and toes. The "place" (from the root plat, broad, spreading, flat) gave us far-seeing eyes, the streams and breezes gave us versatile tongues and whirly ears. The land gave us a stride, and the lake a dive. The amazement gave us our kind of mind." from"Practice of the Wild"
I've admired and cursed waves. Their origin has various reasons that have always intrigued me. Their mass/strength/force is capable of causing disasters both on land and at sea. I still watch the waves with respect and awe when I walk on the beach and ride with my pleasure boat.
Good visualization of this theme!.
