Beautiful, Kelsey. So nice to hear from you and read about such a wonderful experience! It is truly magical when we have the opportunity to observe nature in this way. And your poem is exquisite. Full of feeling. 🩵
As a Pisces and one time scuba diver the ocean is our Mother. She is all embracing, connecting, moody and emotional. I have always felt at home in the water...and lighter! I became a mother at 39 yrs old. While I have always said I could have been happy with or without child, I am ever grateful I had the motherhood experience. It made me feel like a part of the life cycle. It also had me care even more about the planet as I was depositing another soul to live here. I know people say we cant live through our children...but I think we can. When my child sucked on a washcloth in the bathtub I remembered doing the same. When I brushed his hair, I remembered my mother doing my braids as a child. I realize I had a happy childhood to reconnect to. Even so there were also times I felt I could unburden myself from my parents "way of thinking" and take a new road with my son. I did by best, I think we all try.
This is such a gorgeous piece of writing. 💛
Thank you! I'm so glad.

Lovely orca magic! I’d like to see some closeup too! But from the safety of shore… I also have had scary orca dreams
I wonder what a dream book would say orcas symbolize.
What an incredibly beautiful post. Thank you.
Aww, thank you!
Magic. And a beautiful read. Thanks Kelsey ❤️
Thank you! It was a magical sight!
