Waves

This is The Great Wave off Kanagawa from Katsushika Hokusai's breathtaking series of paintings 36 Views of Mt. Fuji. It may take a second glance for one to notice the relatively large boat (and the figure reclining within it), as overwhelmed and assumed by the waves as it is. And yet one immediately notices the firm, dry land of Mt. Fuji, even though the image of it appears small and it is set far in the distance.



Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. -- Psalm 42.7

You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them. -- Psalm 89.9
