Above the Waves

In the Wake of Waves

The day after Trump won his re-election, I tagged along with a friend from the literature department to audit a class. They had invited a renowned guest professor all the way from Germany. To my delight, the professor’s lecture that day centered on the theme of “Waves,” seamlessly weaving together political tides, the currents of our era, and the will of the people.

He then delved into how sailors and equestrians confront forces far greater than themselves—the ocean and the galloping horse. As a sitter-in, I couldn’t join the discussion, but as someone who has experienced both the sea and horseback riding, I found myself utterly enthralled again.

I suddenly realized how deeply the sea and the horse have shaped me, influenced me, and become an inseparable part of who I am.
