Part 1
Only the foolish, or otherwise vain try to create a life outside the inexplicable flow of the Divine. The currency of Heaven is change, and the wise invest in its coin.
Part 2
A brisk breeze sweeps over the bay. A painful memory moves through consciousness. As active meets passive comes resistance, friction; ripples of water (in the bay), or waves of fear (in us). Unseen forces move through us, stirring unknown waters. We no more originate these inner reactions... than the bay creates the streams of air that stir its waters.
Part 3
A temporary patch of disturbed water can become, psychologically speaking, an island -- or perhaps more accurately, an “I-Land."
