ARCANA: a deep secret; a mystery | specialized knowledge
OCEAN PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT FROM LAND PEOPLE. THE OCEAN NEVER STOPS SAYING AND ASKING INTO EARS, WHICH DON’T SLEEP LIKE EYES. SOMETIMES OCEAN PEOPLE ARE GIVEN TO UNDERSTAND THE NEWNESS AND OLDNESS OF THE WORLD; THEN ALL MORNING THEY TRY TO KEEP THAT BOUNDLESS JOY LIKE A LITTLE SUN INSIDE THEIR CHESTS. THE OCEAN ALSO MAKES ITS PEOPLE KNOW IMMENSITY.
