Ocean for my tired self

Dear Friends,

Time for a lighter post. Thank you for having such care with my heavier feelings.

Tara and I went snorkeling this morning. I was pretty low energy, but very calm and regulated. The water was a little cool, but still comfortable. The waves were small and the wind hadn’t picked up yet. It was a tranquil setting.

I felt so relaxed today. I love snorkeling but it always feel a little stressful. It is a lot for me to coordinate. But today I felt so at ease. So it was even better than usual.

We saw a lot of guitarfish in the sandy shallows, and some lobsters waving their antennae from under an old beam. We swam by some rays and watched their elegant movement through the water. And the leopard sharks were milling around. I love their beautiful sleek silhouettes and their gorgeous spots.

Then we swam to the seagrass beds, and though the visibility got worse there, we still saw so many fish and so so many leopard sharks!

Wow. They were swirling around each other and the seagrass. It was so cool to watch.

I felt so a part of something magical in the water today. I am so lucky I can do this in my hometown. It is still a longish drive, but we can do this once a week. That is actually pretty incredible!

I hope you are all able to do something that makes you feel awe and peace this week.

Your Friend,

Danny
