Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it,
its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through,
& it’s there, & you can see it, you know what it is.
It’s a wave & then it crashes on the shore & it’s gone.
But the water is still there.
The wave was just a different way
for the water to be for a little while.
