"Bogging" yes, not blogging, is amazing. Check your "page views" in stats and you have one person following you from italy, one from israel, sweden...and about 5 other equally obscure places i've never been to and never had friends from. Well, i should never say never. You NEVER say never. Anyhow, daily it is revealed to me what an insidious and viral thing the internet can be.
So, on with life in goa:
The ocean did NOT look inviting today. Tides are high, full moon must be imminent. No, she has that look to her like... the top layer, the surface, is pulling back out, moving over the bottom layer, a riptide, and you can see this phenomenon continueing waaaay out to sea. Not a friendly swimming situation. I am grateful for my time spent amongst the surfers at Mal Pais in Costa Rica; they taught me many things about the ocean that have probably saved my life: how to duck dive, how to recognize, avoid and swim out of a riptide. Funny, no one else is in the ocean today either as i can see from surveying off my balcony.
Being near the ocean.... always makes me feel about 6 degrees saner. Isn’t it amazing that both the oceans AND the cycles of women are greatly affected by the gravitational pull of something as celestial as the moon. Wow. When i think about all that, it really makes me say wow!
Say.... have you ever googled the effects of the moon on ocean tides? I sort of remembered this from high school but... it was really fascinating to reread it. How it all works. Also LOVE the pictures of the Bay of Fundy at high and low tides. Bay of Fundy of course being the place in the world with the most extreme difference between high and low tides. Wow again.
I LOVE watching the tides. The oceans are such a living breathing organism. I love to see the changes day to day, like the sea has a personality, a mood, much like a woman.
