Today's Breeze

The ocean's surface may contain many distinct waves of different sizes, traveling in various directions, simultaneously. Here, the biggest wave has been traveling for three days and hundreds of miles, the medium wave was created by yesterday's wind and the small ripples are from today's breeze. These waves remarkably co-exist, traveling in different directions through each other unaffected. I see this as a powerful metaphor for a wide variety or truths. Observing these three waves led me to comparisons from history's influence on the present to ideas about bio-diversity, politics, wars and co-existence. We are today's breeze in terms of the earth's history and our understanding of nature's complexities.
