Thank you for taking the time to read/experience it with me! I very much appreciate the feedback. After I hit publish, I am shocked when I read the "finished" product. Flow state is so powerful!

I am not sure about a book. For now, I enjoy the healing medicine woven into the art of creating these posts. That seems like a gift right there.

I second that emotion! Great photos. I can escape easily on the Monterrey Aquarium site. Thanks Nessa!

Thanks for the comment and the support, Michael. I love live cams way better than netflix entertainment. I am just an oddball like that.

It just hits differently when we can experience things along with sea and air creatures real time, doesn't it?

Yes. And the Aquarium is awesome in real time, too!

It is a fantastic aquarium. Life seems just like one big aquarium sometimes too. 🤷🏻‍♀️🐟

That’s why I like boats and the sea. One enters the interface of water. A totally different world awaits.

Humans should listen to the signals the creatures are giving us.

Nessa, I marvel at your "worldly connectedness." I seriously miss you. I love you.

David Dear! We may not be able to see each other in flesh and bone but we are in each other's orbit! Thanks for reading this. I feel like it somehow oddly connects us. I miss and love you right back! Proud to call you a friend, wise elder. Hugs to you and Jackie.

So much of what you write Nessa, resonates!

I appreciated the translation of the Persian Winter Solstice, the transmuting familial trauma with your grandfather, the beautiful photos and questions about reality and reframing…

Thank you! I often think of our many magical trips and how we are "slow travelers". I think that is he key for our explorative travel style. We go slow and steady and wherever the wind blows us. The best way to exist, IMHO!

Here's to a California adventure coming soon for us hopefully!

According to folklore, Gandhi was once asked what he thought of Western civilization and replied, "I think it would be a good idea". However, some say this was a euphemism.

Ha, I have to say that I very much appreciate Gandhi's remark- whatever the intention was!

Civilization would be a groundbreaking idea now, wouldn't it? A new definition would be nice. The challenge is those who sit at tables drafting definitions do not invite all of us. So I decided that I amm not going to agree with the limited societal definitions until they adapt and change shape and form...tick tock.
