at her mercy (open collection - white border print) · Huanchaco / Peru · 2013

She calls us back with a roar. No matter if we meet her with joy, awe, or even fear, she draws us near. And when we surrender ourselves to the element that birthed us, we trust her. We trust that her surf will carry, not crush us. We trust her with our life because we know she is benevolent underneath the caprice, when those tidal slaps ebb. We are, after all, at her mercy.
