Looks Like Home

Why did the old Persians hold the ocean holy? It was still deeper meaning of the story of Narcissus who, because he could not grasp the mild tormenting image in the fountain, plunged into it and drowned. That same image we ourselves see in all rivers, in oceans and in lakes and wells. The image of the ungraspable, the phantom of life, and that is the key to it all.
