I just had to share this video from NBC Evening News about the pod of blue whales that have been delighting whale watchers in the Los Angeles area.
The blue whales were once almost extinct but they have mande a huge comeback and NBC News reports that a blue whale was also “spotted by whale watchers just off the coast of Maine last Sunday.”
Maybe we’ll hear of sighting by one of the more local whale watching boats here on the North Shore sometime soon.
This beach in Eastport, ME is on the south end of the island, facing Lubec. Lubec is about 10 minutes by boat or an hour by car… It’s one of those places that truly epitomizes the saying, “you can’t get there from here”…
“Being is the practice of gratitude and compassion. I am alive only in the degree that I am moved by the tidal rhythm of receiving and giving. I am a gossamer curtain hanging in a window separating time and eternity, blowing back and forth in the everlasting breeze.” ~~ Sam Keen: Hymns To An Unknown God
“When we say that ecstasy is like the drop melting back into the ocean, it must be made clear that we are the drop and the ocean at the same time, just on different levels.” ~ The Path To Love – Deepak Chopra
“To Be Empowered – I accept the rhythm and flow of my life. I acknowledge that nothing ever stays the same. I am open to change and remain in the moment.” – Pamela J. Leavey

Home is Massachusetts… It always has been, even during the almost 19 years that I lived in Los Angeles, and the 7 lovely months I just spent in Maine, home is and always has been… Massachusetts. And… It’s good to be home.
Home is a drive along Main Street in Amesbury, looking across the Merrimack River to Newburyport… A walk along the waterfront park in downtown Newburyport, admiring all the beautiful boats in the river.
