Rain on the ocean falls differently from its terrestrial cousin. The arc is more gentle, more graceful. Because the rain knows that whatever happens in the course of its journey hurtling through fathoms of space, whenever it falls over the sea, in the end all that results is water returning to itself. This same principle is played out throughout nature (and supernature, perhaps). The themes of congruence, coherence, even inevitability, lend a certain feeling of grace and serenity. These are feelings I felt distinctly when I found myself standing in front of a Berber rug (or kilim) displayed on a wall of the museum at Jardin Majorelle, Yves Saint Laurent’s famed former estate in Marrakech.
