I can relate to this whole heartedly as someone who grew up near the ocean in a tropical country, who later one moved to North America, I complete associated the ocean with joy and happiness.
I live on one of the oldest continuously inhabited beach villages in California because I recognize and feel the beach to be the primal source, the place where one can be most alive, most connected, most at-ease....a place where all you need to do is show up and the benefits start pouring into you. The beach is sacred space most easily appreciated and understood as such. Our bodies are sacred spaces too. Sacred spaces are there to help you see yourself. How you treat them tells us everything about, you, me, us.
Here after seeing him on Inspire Nation tonight after he was interviewed on the loss of his home in the California fires. He also spoke about being in the water for healing! Glad to hear him speak here! So very apropos! Esp. with the turtle at the end...there was talk about 3 turtles & one that was a pet of Dawson Church, found 2 weeks in a drainpipe after his home also burned down! Really interesting! Thank you! Loved this, esp. in light of MJN’s recent tragedy.
Me too Cynthia! And I watched the Dawson Church interview as well. I loved both. I forgot about the turtle with Dawson as well, so I looked up the totem meaning. Interesting. (Who is MJN?)
Read his book; fantastic communication of perspectives, how being near the spirit of an ocean can indeed make one a spiritual being once again. Feeling, seeing, hearing and touching the beach makes one truly at peace ! I yearn to return to the beaches of California !
yes...yes...the sea stars...I remember falling in love with the sea stars. Thank you for that memory....Also...the song...Silly Love Songs...which was the top of the charts one summer evening in my childhood camping on the beaches of Connecticut...You are a poet and a therapist too...is there such a field...No? Okay...go create it...J. H.
“And it is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance else that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.” The Silmarillion J. R. R. Tolkien
the water probably brings us such a profound sense of calm, because we ARE water, at least 75%. That's where the intrinsic connection stems from I think

Me too. Dr Nichols is more interesting then D and C in Chicago.
