"The ocean is the earth's subconscious." - Jay Umble / Summer 2005
Think about it, we see the surface of the ocean; but, there's so much going on underneath those waves. And when you get down to the abyss, there's stuff there we know nothing about. Like people we see what's going on at the surface; but, what lies underneath? Put someone (even a great friend) in a tough position and see what they do. Likewise, we think we know who we are and what we stand for; but, what's going on way down in our subconscious?- our very own abyss.
