Recipe for an Ocean in the Absence of the Sea You have the ingredients on hand, Get to the edge of something, yourself best of all, and take yourself in hand. Take, I mean, your hand, trace out the blue menaces released and lapsing there, watch closely around the wrist: they will remind you what you must do, They are what you must do. Be them, until there is nothing but them, then you are ready. Now take time, all there is in the house-- it does not have to be yours. Take time and never for a moment losing track of what changes back into yourself, bitter enough so that you will need almost no salt, mix well and then leap over the edge. Wait there. When you can wait no longer, it is done. Serve at once. It does not keep.
