“One can be the master of what one does, but never of what one feels.” Gustave Flaubert
The Breaking Wave Standing on the shore of feeling, watching the horizon, waiting, being engulfed, thrust beyond in swirls of murky images, thrown beyond the foaming crest into the boiling current of deep inner turmoil, full of dangerous rips along jagged coral memories, finally resurfacing in the calm of the breaking wave.
