"From the time I could crawl along the beach, I've been fascinated by the Black Sea, its colors, its citizens, its changing and unchanging presence. Herodotus claimed the Black Sea is the most marvelous of all seas.  And yet, even as a child, I knew that there was something beyond the bluegreen transparency and the hypnotic poetry of the waves. The Black Sea Upanishad maps the line between self and sea and asks what happens when this line fades and is washed away into the unredeemable waters."
