What is the difference between the air and the ocean, except the molecules that flow? Air and water both eddy, swirling in artistic perfection. So, with that idea dancing in my brain, on this ambient summer day, I wonder... do birds truly swim; is our land the sea bed of their ocean? To crabs and lobsters, are fish the ones who fly and the birds simply fly higher still? Is the differences of swimming and flying an artifact of our human perspectives? Perhaps with these musings we can come to see this planet through the lenses of all of our relatives, rather than simply through the limitations of our own experience.
