Wave After Wave
And now for a bit of kokology fun . . .
Perhaps it's because we instinctively trace the roots of life back to the oceans, perhaps it's something hardwired deep within our brains; whatever the reason may be, the sea holds a special power over us. The tang of the salt air, the fine spray of the surf, the soft crashing of the waves--the net effect is to stimulate and soothe. Sometimes a stroll along a sandy beach can transport you much further from your everyday reality than the actual distance you walk. That may be why the sea holds a special place in lover's hearts. It provides them with the chance to journey together, if only for a brief time, into another world.
1. You are walking along a quiet beach. As you wander the dunes, you spot a surf board washed up on the sand. Describe the surfboard and the impression it makes on you.
2. You climb onto the board and paddle out to try your luck on the waves. How are the conditions for surfing today?
3. You have managed to get to your feet and are experiencing the thrill of actually riding the wave, when suddenly you wipe out and tumble headfirst into the water. What do you think, feel, or try to scream as you struggle to find your way back to the surface?
4. You finally emerge from the water unscathed, and looking back toward the beach, you see that a person you know has been watching you. Who is that person?
Feel free to answer these . . . and I'll let you know what your subconscious is trying to tell you. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised . . .
