WHERE THE OCEAN IS TAKING ME 

and if it is taking me there in one fell swoop

or over the course of several weeks. 

I want you to help me understand this by clinically evaluating things 

and by writing down the details to the best of your knowledge. 

And try to do this while you’re still seated at the ivory table. 

Try to incorporate some of the lessons you learned from the great navigator,

who, against nobody’s will, outlined the areas

where even the water itself was trembling to be able to touch our feet. 

And, please, do these things out of a sense of inner justice. 

Let me hear from you that helping me was one of your greatest priorities. 

Let me know where the ocean is taking me

not against my will or anybody’s will.
