There is probably no other view like that of the sea that can come close to explaining the difficult concept of eternity. Looking at its quite endless blue surface, we can understand how impermanent we are, how small and limited, like the proverbial drops in an ocean. The sea is a place of wonder, of dreams and promise, of an overwhelming charm that conveys a great serenity. It hypnotises us, absorbs us and can fill us with spiritual wonder.

Great stories have been told and written about the Mediterranean Sea by all its kin peoples, inspired by discoveries, conquests and adopted homelands. All this brings to us the echoes of endless hopes, unbearable tragedies and extraordinary encounters. Those waves have crossed history, they have always been occasions for sailings, encounters and abandonments.
Wars and knowledges have been flowing through it since time immemorial.

Watching the flow of a dancer's movement, we sometimes find that natural, uninterrupted motion of sea surfaces. And two people dancing always go through different moods, contrasting emotions, proximity and distance.
