Amadi,
We spent most of this day together
Talking.. about ocean life & other stories.
We soaked in some silence.
•
This place has a way of calling its children. We listened, He & I.
Occupying our different stories, leaning into this shared space.
•
He was at home with the ocean, and I’d come home to it.
This day seemed to stretch on & on in time, beckoning me to speak my hopes, lay out my fears & listen.
I did, in silence..
If he had any questions – about why I was there, alone or at all, he didn’t say.
Something tells me he knew it wasn’t the ocean animals I was there to see.
I had longed for rest. Spiritual rest.
•
So he rowed & rowed & rowed.
