The Wave

The ocean sighed with pleasure

as the wind caressed and stroked her

and soon the wave was born.

The wave came from the ocean

and was always a part of the ocean.

But shortly after he was created

the wave watched himself, as he began to rise and roll,

saw his own smooth and graceful motion,

the beautiful bubbling foam which sprayed around him

and fell in love with himself.

He started to believe that he was his own master

that it was his own strength that was propelling him

that he was directing his own flow

and could change direction if he wanted.

The wave forgot the ocean, and saw himself as separate –

a self-sufficient, sealess wave

who felt proud of his power, exhilarated by his autonomy

as he rolled faster and rose higher ...
