“Society is a wave.  The wave moves onward, but the water of which it is composed does not.  The same particle does not rise from the valley to the ridge.  Its unity is only phenomenal.”  -  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Welcome to MAKING WAVES, where Mind Like Water pays tribute to the individual.  In Emerson’s analogy, society is a wave composed of particles, or individuals.  In and of itself, society is an abstraction, incapable of change.  But an individual, a seemingly small component of society, is real and capable of making significant impacts on the size, shape and even the direction of the wave.

Our Tributes portray everyday people who have made a difference.  People who have had the courage, strength and self-reliance to change the character of society, even if only in a small way.  They exemplify the power of the individual and embody a single theme: Don’t ride the wave, make your own!
