Annotations: I’m as see, I’m as it fluid beauty-I’m ass the tide that ebbs and flows.  I’m as the stillness-the calm that falls before a storm... I’m as the moment before it breaks!  I’m as the crest that steadily rises  I’m as the wind, free and wild-I’m as a spirit flying high!  I’m as the breaker that sudden;y remembers the sea that is its home-I’m as its thunder, I’m as its impact on the mocking beach.  I’m as the gentle laughing of swirls, I’m as the remnants of the wave... I’m as I was -again-The Sea.  _Ethel A. Patoktak Wainwright, Alaska (after her first experience on the nalukatuk or blanket toss)  One with the sea...  Dragging home a whale 24-IV-66 John Burns Photo  Northwest  T.T 6-20-84
