Sometimes we feel ‘all at sea’ and sometimes it’s time for a sea change and then other times – most times – it seems that we are on the other side of change. I believe in, and love perpetual motion. So it’s no surprise that this is one of my favourite poems and I think it goes some way to capturing the tone of this painting.
Oceans
by Juan Ramon Jimenez
I have a feeling that my boat
has struck, down there in the depths,
against a great thing.
And nothing
happens! Nothing…Silence…Waves…–Nothing happens? Or has everything happened,
and are we standing now, quietly, in the new life?
against a great thing.
And nothing

and are we standing now, quietly, in the new life?
