She loves the serene brutality of the ocean, loves the electric power she felt with each breath of wet, briny air.

My Commissions are open on Ko-fi! I draw coloring pages and create unique handheld labyrinth path meditation tools. I've added a set of meditation tools (functional art!) made from recycled materials as a benefit for The Ocean Conservancy!

Jellyfish are like beautiful ocean flowers. With their ethereal movements and mesmerizing colors, they are a true wonder of the sea. These graceful creatures drift through the water with a fluidity that is almost hypnotic, their tentacles trailing behind them like delicate petals.
But while they may look like harmless blooms, jellyfish are actually powerful predators. They use their stinging tentacles to capture their prey and defend themselves against predators.
Despite their beauty and danger, jellyfish play an important role in the ecosystem of our oceans. They are an important source of food for many species, and their movements can help distribute nutrients throughout the water.
So next time you see a jellyfish, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of these ocean flowers. But also remember to keep a safe distance, as their stings can be quite painful.

I have been feeling very clearheaded lately and what I want to write about today is the sea. It contains so many colors. Silver at dawn, green at noon, dark blue in the evening. Sometimes it looks almost red. Or it will turn the color of old coins. Right now the shadows of clouds are dragging across it, and patches of sunlight are touching down everywhere. White strings of gulls drag over it like beads.
It is my favorite thing, I think, that I have ever seen. Sometimes I catch myself staring at it and forget my duties. It seems big enough to contain everything anyone could ever feel.
