Re Searching the inland sea

Permeating the whole body, it is in everything, eroding and re-

distributing in search of an ideal state, a state encouraged by the

sedimentation of the earth. In this flow of things there is no cessation, no

inertia, just endless movement, displacing, distributing and locating, yet

again to displace. The sense of movement, this contradictory co-

existence, this continuity and discontinuity, forever uniting and dividing,

cementing and fracturing, rejects definition.
