the seal returned today.

i'd been praying/talking/meditating. i had just tasted the water when she returned.

she didn't have to walk the whole way of the beach with me this time. i think she knows that i understand now.

she simply poked her head up. looked steadily at me and dove off.

i think she may be my guide.

bless you mother ocean, sister sea and the powers that reside within me.
