Underwater Castles

"The Sea" from Morgan Llywelyn's The Elementals

We are the sea.

We are the planet's dual-purpose organ of reproduction and reverence. The trinity of sun, moon, and earth exchange their sacred energies through the linkage we provide.

We acknowledge no limits, merely impediments that we continually whittle away. We are a prism through whose liquid lens the colorful diversity of the planet is refracted. We contain the images of Atlantis and Lemuria and Mu, of transoceanic Phoenician trading vessels and the Titanic and the five lost planes of Flight 19.

Aswarm with life, we think trillions of versions of thought. Our sentience is in your blood, in everything that contains water.

We are the sea.

We do not see humans as humans perceive themselves. The creature called Man appears to us as a core of heat giving off radiance in the warm spectrum. Man is a seeker of solid surfaces, a self-replenishing organism capable of creating toxic wastes.

Man is a cancer that crawled from our womb.

We are watching. We are aware. We are the sea.
