Sea Losing Wave

More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

The sea of galilee and the dead sea are made of the same water. it flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of herman and the roots of the cedars of lebanon. the sea of galilee makes beauty of it, the sea of galilee has an outlet. it gets to give. it gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the jordan plain. but the dead sea with the same water makes horror. for the dead sea has no outlet. it gets to keep.

The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all i know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry. it's a condition of faith that it gets lost from time to time, or at least mislaid.
Faith Teaching People
This unlikely story begins on a sea that was a blue dream, as colorful as blue-silk stockings, and beneath a sky as blue as the irises of children's eyes. from the western half of the sky the sun was shying little golden disks at the sea--if you gazed intently enough you could see them skip from wave tip to wave tip until they joined a broad collar of golden coin that was collecting half a mile out and would eventually be a dazzling sunset.

You will die. you will not live forever. nor will any man nor any thing. nothing is immortal. but only to us is it given to know that we must die. and that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. for we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose... that selfhood which is our torment, and our treasure, and our humanity, does not endure. it changes; it is gone, a wave on the sea. would you have the sea grow still and the tides cease, to save one wave, to save yourself?
Men Sea Forever
Everyone who’s born has come from the sea. your mother’s womb is just a sea in small. and birds come of seas on eggs. horses lie in the sea before they’re born. the placenta is the sea. your blood is the sea continued in your veins. we are the ocean — walking on the land.

I stare at her chest. as she breathes, the rounded peaks move up and down like the swell of waves, somehow reminding me of rain falling softly on a broad stretch of sea. i'm the lonely voyager standing on deck, and she's the sea. the sky is a blanket of gray, merging with the gray sea off on the horizon. it's hard to tell the difference between sea and sky. between voyager and sea. between reality and the workings of the heart.
Lonely Rain Moving

Some people say love is a losing game, you start with fire and you lose the flame. the ashes smolder, but the warmth's soon gone, you end up cold and lonely on your own.
