Your ship is docked. There is much to explore on the island, but your eyes are drawn to a path. At its entrance, you stop. You assess. You hesitate, caught between going forward and turning back.

There you are, gazing off the port side, 2,400,000 meters beneath the surface of the water, transfixed by what should be impossible. It is beautiful and terrifying all at once.

“And He said to them, ‘When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?’ They said, ‘No, nothing.’ And He said to them, ‘But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.
