Just what is an ebb, anyway?
An internal search on the Boidem tells me that this is only the second time I've
used the phrase ebb and flow in these pages (the first time was two
years ago). Considering the fact that it's such an eminently usable phrase,
I'm a bit surprised to discover that I haven't used it more often. And though
I don't know why it is that I haven't done so, it's a good guess that it has something
to do with the fact that I've never fully understood what an ebb is, and,
after knowing, have had a hard time seeing that ebb as the opposite of
a flow. So although I understood what the phrase meant, or at least referred
to, I didn't really understand how the separate pieces made up the phrase, and
I thus refrained from using it.
Now, either because my curiosity piqued (hey, that's one that it's also hard
to be sure of), or because I had the time to waste for clicking over to dictionary.com,
I now know what an ebb
really is.
