To find, again, The Heart of Mother Ocean...

In 2022, when I decided to leave the Pacific Coast, and look for a small town to endure the time I would need to have work done on my boat - I didn't imagine staying for more than 6-12 months.

After having the boat destroyed in early April 2023 - the refuge I had established became a place of healing - and a place to endure the vicissitudes of fate - until a clearer path ahead emerged.

Looking back now, over the last 14 months - I also see that this isolation was necessary - to find again that spark of joy for Mother Ocean.

The longer I abide here, the deeper the desire will grow to return to the ocean again.

It is a bit of a paradox - to find again my love for a thing, I must first abandon it.
