Eight Legged Octopus

On the I'm thankful for time on the water, around people who work on the water, study the water (and things in it), and love the water.

Always nice to catch a few moments to get my thoughts on paper too. I was told once that we learn what we really think through the process of writing and talking with others. Today was full of that.

Thankful for it all.

You know those places where you just breathe easier? This is one of those for me.

I was recently reading about the Celtic concept of "thin places" and it resonated so much. The places that the physical and spiritual world are so close that you can see across. This place connects me across generations to those long gone and those who have left us more recently.

May you all have those places or moments in your lives.
