Treading Water

Treading water is a metaphor for the experience of living in this rapidly changing world over which I have no control,
but of which I am part. I find solace in the moments when I lose a sense of myself as separate from the natural world.
      This is an ongoing series in which I seek to capture these elusive moments suspended between chaos
and equilibrium, between hope and despair.
