As the sun cast its rays on the crystaline green tubes, with my board in hand I headed to the beach below.

Relaxing after the half-hour hike, I gazed upon the giant green cathedrals as they beckoned me to come find peace, harmony, and joy. "I will renew your spirit, heal your wounds; and you will grow strong again," they whispered.  I walked to the waters edge, answering their call.  With my board glistening like an icicle in the cold morning sun, I slowly paddled out towards the line up.  The sea lifted me in strange arcs and weird angles from soft green skin.

As a set approached, I spun around and stroked hard as the ocean answered my prayers.  In an instant I was sliding under the curl as it came right over me!  That noise!  That feeling!  I was sucked into the green womb of pleasure.  The situation was flawless as the wave hung suspended.  A super tube, opaque and glowing with tonal densities, with tremendous force propelled me beyond time and space and into perfect harmony with the sea.

My board responded to each shift in weight, each shuffling of my feet, up or back.  I explored new arcs, new paths.  Only shimmering emeralds were visible, sky gone.  I could not see out, but who cared.  Time was gone.  Seconds... minutes...a life time: time had no meaning.  I felt only the fluid balance between ocean and me.  I put myself in holds of darkness searching for light in sliding canyons wedged between sea and stone.  I filled the emptiness within; I grew stronger as the water healed the spirit.

Suddenly the door opened, and I gazed back in wonder on the incisions my fiberglass scalpel carved in this virgin womb, so good, so free,  slash after slash spraying cool white blood.  Working between water and sand, I raced spellbound through the golden flame of a collapsing curl in aprismatic, glistening bubble.  Too soon my green womb was gone.  I felt pain as I was blasted out, riding back into time and space.

With a soft whisper the ocean said, "You're mine now.  Explore my inner sanctuaries, and I will transform your pain into joy.  But when you leave..."

In the end I knew my place and could find it; others project but cannot.
