In our everyday life, we have no feeling for geological time. When life appeared on the planet, everything was liquid. Becoming more solid and developing symmetry gave us the opportunity to direct our movement. We tend to think of the earth – the planet earth – as something stable + unchanging. But it is not. It is transforming constantly.

Beautiful while she’s just being herself.
I think of her as both very playful + strong and in her element.
From an Ocean Conversation with L.J.
The wind makes the sea always different. Different waves form with north wind than with wind from the east. The north wind creates large layers of waves (i.e. wider waves) while with eastern wind, waves are shorter (i.e. narrower).

The sea is never the same, you don’t know what to expect. The sea is always different; sometimes we were very angry at the sea because we could not do our job properly.
