Here is the outline of the current tide cycle, broken into six phases. Each line marks a key shift in the flow, and each mark is a potential move. Observe where the currents intersect; that’s where the pattern hides.

I see the pattern, but it feels like a reminder that nothing stays still.

I listen, I wait, and I step before the rush.
