a morning of awe…

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore. —Ralph Waldo Emerson

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. —William Shakespeare

I came upon the seals still snoozing this morning. When sleeping in the water, they can float as in a standing position, similar to a fishing bobber. This is called “bottling”. I waited for them to start their day. You can hear them in the audio file below. I love them so.

in total AWE…

I’ve only been on two flights since the start of the pandemic. What a gift it was to see the world from the perspective of an airplane again.
