It was so tiny, but so comfortable... when he needed to feel mother earth hugging him, was so good to sleep in the boat on the beach. Cool breeze scenting of stories by the sea, crabs walking like proud horsemen before the duel, moon as a lamp and stars as audience...
audience to the show running on the stage of desires.. made of the sound of sea hissing..
Or just those moments when he needed to feel detached.. oh so detached.. floating on the king of the water... feeling that curious and pleasant feeling... wave by wave... first the feet go up, then the knees, and abdomen reaches them... and while your belly is going up too, just feet go down, and chest goes up, and knees go down, and head goes up... and head goes down.. and chest.. and.. haha and feet go up again... in a loop..
What a perfect movement the boat does.. driven by the sea...
Water is that good element for making you feel distant from earth... hanging like a canvas on the wall of metaphores....
it has the color of the sky, and makes you feel flying.. but just reflecting the color of the sky... Talete (Thales), ancient philosoper and mathematic, thought it was the element from which everything is born, as we come to this world by being immersed in a liquid..
amniotic fluid....
I don't know if he was right... but nature feels so good...
and Al was so glad, and taken by the magic of elements...
feeling so free... feeling part of nature... feeling an element himself...
