deeper dive

Probably read some comments, there are almost no people who can really understand Jack and Enzo. Some people even think that Jack is a mermaid's child and has the ability to live in the sea, while others think that Jack is cowardly and escapes reality.
This is normal, because people who have really experienced the deep sea, people who have really experienced absolute darkness and silence, people who have really experienced only blood flowing in their brains, people who have really experienced concentration that has nothing to do with the world, really Too little too little.
So no one can understand Jack and Enzo, no one can really understand why they say, "Need to find a reason to come to the surface."
As much as writing, Calvino's baron in a tree, ultimately forever The ground is far from the ground (Is it? I think so.) Because writing (in fact, any creation) also requires attention away from the world (Kafka believes that the world war has nothing to do with himself, roughly so), and only needs to be in the brain. There is also blood flowing, absolute darkness and stillness, the need for the "deep sea" (the weight of water and others), and only then can we be infinitely close to God and ourselves.
But if we stay there and cut us off completely from the world, then we no longer need to write, because writing is at the same time the only way and channel by which we can connect with the world.
Dreams and sleep on the edge of the cliff, like Enzo and Jack, we pursue the limit of diving, at the cost of life and life.
And the world is so dry, so noisy, so bright, what are we surfacing for? Maybe just for the next, deeper dive.
