[Mod] Drabble challenge 151: waves

This week's drabble challenge is this quote by Bo Carpelan:

There are waves, but they are all standing still

Responses to the drabble challenge may be drabbles (exactly 100 words), drabble-and-a-half (150 words), double drabbles (200 words), or a series of drabbles (related responses, each 100 words). Drabble challenges run for one week. This one ends 11 May 2012.
