If I cannot change my situation I will change myself.

In this act of magical transformation I recognize myself again.

I am groundless and boundless movement. I am a furious flow.

I am one with the darkness and the wet.

And I am enraged.

Here at last is the chaos I held at bay. Here at last is my strength.

I am not the water

I am the wave, and rage is the force that moves me.
