Spending time at the ocean meditating on the rolling waves as they breathe in and out, reminds me of being a child spending every moment I could at the water. The water has natural healing abilities that wash away the busy of the world and allow us to relax and bounce back to who we truly are when there are no pressures and demands placed upon us.

Unfortunately, with warming temperatures melting arctic ice, negative effects are expected on the environment and marine ecosystems (Vacquie-Garcia et al., 2017), forcing whales to leave their feeding grounds in search of food (WWF, 2017).

"How wonderful vacation is going to be!" exclaimed the young Olympians. Their parents busy in the background, smiling to themselves as bubbles floated to the surface from the scurrying of packing for their annual journey. They were just as excited to be leading their school on this expedition.

One of the great things about dreams is that you can be anywhere with the most incredible souls on earth even if your season is different than that in the dream. Waiting for the winter to move on, I can move freely in my dream with warmth.

Seal. Dear sweet Kadiddlehopper was found one day in the fall of 2014 washed up on a beach in Central California, USA. She was sad and lonely and had not alot of weight for a Northern Fur Seal. But that day was her lucky day for she was then on her way to the Marine Mammal Centre in California.
