Dig Deep

I’m looking for that smiling Clara who knows and remembers how sweet and mesmerizing life can be when you are open to her magic. I’ve missed her, and I’m going to look for her.

There is something incredibly attractive to the human heart and conscience, in being a witness to life outside of ourselves, beyond our own species. These migratory whales are an archetype for hope, for a future where we begin to acknowledge that other species have a right not only to exist but to thrive too, and that it is our duty to remember and restore this equilibrium we have long lost sight of, in Westernized society.

I often find that it isn’t until I am somewhere outside of my regular routine, detached from the daily structure and demands of life, that my inspiration returns and words flow on the page like the competition-sized waves here. It is my first time here on the Basques coast of France, the South western part of the country, where lengthy stretches of beach meet delicious traditional food and the vibe is friendly during the off season.
