I rest calm on the surface, unable to see the tidal forces at work underneath yet still aware of their presence in the water. I am a buoy. I bob as the waves rock me side to side while my center of gravity leaves me still like a gyroscope. A tsunami is approaching me, I can feel it. The crashing waves grow more and more violent. The great annihilator -- I wait for the tide to recede in a moment of stillness before a wall of death looms over us all able to rebuild only in its aftermath.

My Life as a Vessel of the Waves
I rest calm on the surface, unable to see the tidal forces at work underneath yet still aware of their presence in the water. I am a buoy. I bob as the waves rock me side to side while my center of gravity leaves me still like a gyroscope. A tsunami is approaching me, I can feel it. The crashing waves grow more and more violent. The great annihilator -- I wait for the tide to recede in a moment of stillness before a wall of death looms over us all able to rebuild only in its aftermath.
