~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I mean, you
surf on it and you
dive in it in search of information or entertainment... and time ago, when I embarked on my personal archival of Things that Matter on the Internet to Me
tm, I compared the magnitude of that quest as
"trying to drink the ocean".
I'd also like to bring up one of my dreams:
I was swimming in some sort of giant aquarium, but as I swam, some part of my consciousness thought "if by day I surf the Internet in search of art knowledge, by night I dive into the depths of my subconscious to integrate what I learnt into myself". The dream is at least kind of true: what we learn by day is "fixed" while we sleep (and that's why sleep is so important for students). I never envisioned it with swimming, tho. But it also makes sense, at least for me? I like to think while I swim, and many good ideas have ocurred to me while doing so.
Of course, I'm not talking about a
literal liquid (although something could be said about the
water cooling systems used for the servers that keep the Internet up and running), but as someone who
really enjoys swimming and is eager for the upcoming
summer, there's something... cleansing, magical, even trascendental about
submerging oneself in a body of water. The difference in temperature, the wetness, but especially, how light your body feels and the way you move around, way more different than on land.
And it's not just the Internet, to me (as my dream exemplifies). The folder I have destined to hold all images that make me fall in love with art again and again is called
"the Inspiration Pool" 
I don't know, I just sense that non-physical planes, like the one made of your own thoughts inside your head, or the communal one we created like the Internet, are ethereal
In the sense that, like air, cannot quite be seen or perceived by regular means or senses... but in terms of manuveuring thru them, they feel more like
water, to me.
What are your thoughts?
