Chapters

The Rising
On the incoming tide
“The tide rises—waters advancing, covering new ground, reaching higher than before.”
2
The Falling
On the retreating tide
“The tide falls—waters retreating, revealing what was hidden, preparing for the next rise.”

The Turning
On the moment of change
“At slack tide, the water pauses. Neither rising nor falling—the turning point between movements.”
