Publisher's Synopsis
This text explores the duality between the captain and the mermaid, who are in fact one and the same entity. The captain embodies stability, wisdom and rootedness, offering a space of welcome and understanding. The mermaid, on the other hand, symbolizes fluidity, freedom and transformation, moving lightly through time and space.
Together, they illustrate the harmony between movement and stillness, between the ephemeral and the eternal. The captain does not try to hold on to the mermaid, and the mermaid knows that the captain will always be there. Their relationship is based on a deep mutual acceptance, a silent dance in which each finds their place without constraint.
Through this metaphor, the text sheds light on human nature itself: a balance between the stable and anchored part that observes and protects, and the fluid and elusive part that explores and transforms. It is an inner journey, where wisdom and freedom coexist in perfect harmony.
