IVIV (1) Shasta

[John Bailey]

The sea is one of IV's great, inscrutable mysteries.

It's given spiritual connotations through the likes of St Flip (who is
visible from the perspective of angels).
It takes on aspects of the Kantian sublime in the invisible pounding
it sends up the Gordita hillside.
It's the home of the Preserved, but also (one aspect of) the Golden
Fang (which can be be approached but never arrived at).
In most forms of dream therapy it signifies the deepest of emotions
and most potent urges of the subconscious.
It is pure (but not static) surface; it is also fathomless depth.

I think the sea occupies a place similar to the wind in V.
