Life cycle. I think a Beluga. About 20 feet. My mantra has to do with the mix of loss and joy that I have experienced these last 4 years—-and beauty. This deceased critter touched all of these and more.

Thanks so much. All of you. X and now time to rest. Long sessions today and long hot walking on cobblestones to this beach and back. Have sticks for safety and do use them. No more hip breaks!
