Late posts, I know. I was wondering if you jumped off of the boat into the ocean, would it still look round? Not very zenish but it seems that the closer you look the more you see. From a distance everything looks well organised, knife edge clean and well defined but up close it's chaos. Waves, wavelets, drops of water, molecules, atoms, atomic particles, all screaming about in insane patterns. Just an observation of Joe,s pacific ocean view.
