PAUL SCHRAG: DROP OF WATER >>>

It’s time, Tacoma, to celebrate the Pacific Northwest’s defining element, as South Sound Collective, Pacific Fusion Productions and United State of Consciousness present Drop of Water, July 18, beginning at 9 p.m. at the Foss Waterway Seaport Museum.

If you’re out of the loop, this is the third show in a series celebrating the elements. South Sound Collective and crew have already passed through air and fire on their journey, and plan on immersing Tacoma in the element of water tonight. For those who aren’t up on their elements, water is the foundation of all creation. Myths from all over depict the world of form emerging from primal chaos, most often depicted as water, shaped by the creator to become the Universe we inhabit. The people of ancient Egypt said that before creation there existed only Nun, a watery abyss. The Hindus depict the material world as emerging from Maya, a sort of eternal cosmic liquid. Maya is etymologically related to words like matrix, matter, meter and mother.

Yeah. Shit’s gonna be deep. Read the full story here.
