Summary
Mother said if God wanted Mankind to live out at Sea, He would have made them capable of breathing under water.
Izzy thinks that that’s part of it, the inherent danger of it - it’s grounded in that respect that is owed to Her, to this awe that fills Izzy whenever he gazes upon the blue expanse and knows that this is something so much bigger than him, something that could kill him every day, yet doesn’t.
He looks at the Sea and finds whatever his Mother found on church’s pews, staring up an altar, at a depiction of the Son of God, as a priest droned on with his sermon. He looks at the Sea and understands religion better than he ever did at Mass.
He doesn’t pray.
The Sea doesn’t want his prayers.
Edward told him once, “I don’t want to be a God to you, Iz. I’m just a man.”
Izzy doesn’t know how to tell him that he doesn’t see him as a God. But something about the way Edward loves him, something about the way Stede touches him, feels holy.
