I think their vulnerability (although they could kill us easily enough if they decided to - in self-defence with no regret) is what gives us the goose bumps in light of our creation giftDianna Woolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901349180265745138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17699332.post-1946965147679262402010-02-08T18:41:56.156-08:002010-02-08T18:41:56.156-08:00Maureen,

They ARE memorable and I believe soul strengthening to recall them! <br /><br />I too have been off the coast of Massachusetts on whale watching. Mostly I watched other passengers sick as weak puppies with the rocking boat - an experience that always reminds me to pop a dramamine before launching out on the ocean:)<br /><br />TheDianna Woolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901349180265745138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17699332.post-65098117155119451342010-02-08T18:04:45.037-08:002010-02-08T18:04:45.037-08:00oh you can't believe the directions my mind we...oh you can't believe the directions my mind went this morning when i read this. let's say i've had a few memorable experiences exploring the stars & heavens. one was in molokai - we would lay flat on our backs in the middle of our driveway (at risk of giant toads hopping across us) and gaze at the immensity above us. there's definitely something to being hundreds of miles Kayce aka lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479940262271959482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17699332.post-27536371130693508712010-02-08T16:29:07.254-08:002010-02-08T16:29:07.254-08:00A beautiful post!

Your writing here is reminiscent of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.<br /><br />When I was in California a couple of summers ago I got to hang out with the sea lions for a while.
