The waves are still coming in to the beaches in Half Moon Bay filled with the energy being released on the other side of the ocean (Japan). With those waves of the ocean there are also waves of chatter spreading throughout the world right now. While sometimes useful, engaging and informational, I have seen that listening to this chatter has an unsettling effect on many.
The question that I would like to offer up for today is this: "What is the chatter really telling you?" And even more importantly - "What is the chatter telling you about yourself?"
For myself, I have found that the chatter has me seeking out nature and special places ever more. There is a different chatter in nature, as with these two birds looking for food on the reef amidst the waves and turbulence - being a part of it all and still being in communication. I watched as they stayed close to each other for quite a while, even though the waves would often wash over their bit of reef and then recede back repeatedly. Calling to each other here and there with their 'cheep, cheep, cheep' - the chatter of nature amidst the waves.
As I do not speak sea-bird, all that I could discern is that there must be something really good about that section of reef. It had me look down at my section of sand on the Half Moon Bay beach where I had been standing and think to myself - "Yes, this is a really nice section of beach... and place to live... right now." And then I went home to my wife and son for some 1-on-1 family chatter at the dinner table. :)
All the Best,
Whitney
