This Wave is not produced by a wind.Hardly even a wake .It seems to raise from an otherwise calm lake surface. To my feeling there is something scary about this ,something of Aristotle's celebrous quote from Agathon:"It is probable that something happens against probability". (See my recent "Gegen Null.Eine mathematische phantasie."Secession Verlag 2011, Ch."Über eine Verführung durch die Erzählung")
But this is also a pictograph for the way an idea,a creative impulse, makes its way from God knows what abysses and breaks into the surface.
What lake ? The endless lake of the mind.Or the lake Stora Nadden in Västmanland,my childhood lake where I learned how to row and tried to sail with a rather unreliable rig of my own construction. The premontory in the background is easily recognizable as Hillersberget.
