BLAH BLAH INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE BLAH

One can make a day of any size, and regulate the rising and setting of his own sun and the brightness of its shining.

John Muir

Very Tall and Very Old

Words and photos just aren’t working to describe the Size of Things in Tofino. We are in the forest primeval on an endless ocean and it dwarfs everything I’ve ever known.

This stump is about two point five @Alyska tall.

I find myself watching our feet as much to keep sure footing on the wet boardwalks through the rainforest as well as in some sort of attempt at deference to the Very Tall Things what existed Well Before.

All life grows from worlds like this.

Some things are the same everywhere you go.

I like that, no matter where you go, people are always people.

Tide pools

The Pacific Ocean is 165 million square kilometers big. That is 110% the size of all of the land mass of the Earth - 110% of the space humans can inhabit on the Earth. And that’s just one ocean and that’s not counting mountain peaks and deserts and the arctic.

The ocean is unfathomable (see what I did there?) in its vastness that trying to capture that Bigness is a photo is nigh insulting.

Dipping in and retrieving a piece of the ocean can be magical. It offers us a place to see reflected everything outside us in the universe. A handful of ocean water is a powerful scurrying tool. A handful of significance for owner so insignificant. But as we watch the water calming again best out palm, we fail to see the waters reviving and can be taken and dashed against the rocks.

The Moon, our spirit mother watching over human kind, wishes to save what little lives we have. As the tides ebb and flow, she laces the beaches with pools of ocean water for us to find. They are moon sized scrying mirrors.

We can find them, the cleverest of us and following them like a breadcrumb trail to the edge of understanding. Where they saturate, so too does the future sight grow out of turbid waters. Maybe we can glimpse our futures under the shining moon light without being dashed to pieces against against the rocks?
