π•Žπ•™π•–π•£π•– π•Žπ•™π•’π•π•–π•€ π•Šπ•¨π•šπ•ž π•Žπ•šπ•₯𝕙 π•†π•‘π•–π•Ÿ 𝕄𝕠𝕦π•₯𝕙𝕀, 𝕀 π•Šπ•šπ•Ÿπ•˜ 𝔸𝕓𝕠𝕦π•₯ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 π•Žπ•’π•₯𝕖𝕣 π•Šπ•¦π•£π•—π•’π•”π•– is based on relationship and responsibility. It’s more than a human film in which human knowledge is subconscious and the ocean is consciousness.

It is much more popular to talk about the relationship between man and nature than to actually experience it. There is a difference between being in the world and theorizing about being in the world. Here in the ocean, where every sense is stimulated and every physical activity is fine-tuned, where thoughts are not commodities of the abstract world and the sense of the presence of oneself, the absence of others stimulates our being in ways that are not always explainable from a rational perspective.

Annotation:

At the moment of our birth, we are dragged through four hundred million years of evolutionary time. We change from aquatic creatures to air and earth dwellers, and then we gasp for breath all our lives.

To dive is to experience what it was like β€”
before we were born.

No wonder –
that we feel so much for the whales
that are stranded in the shallows.

We are alone in the shallows at our birth.
