It looked like a stone drifting, about 30 centimeters long, stonish, white and light brown patterned. It swam just in front of me. When i turned around, after passing it, it seemed to swim away backwards. I say friendly because it returned to me and then i could see octopus like extensions, whitish, with which it propelled itself.

Later i was told about its poisonous spikes. It uses those only when attacked and there was nothing like that happening. More a felt connection, i really liked the animal and felt this reciprocated.

This whole notion of ‘the war on….’ Is unhelpful. With our machines running on old trees that once covered the earth and then became coal, oil and gas, we spoil our protective atmosphere and oceans (air and water ecologies) such that what sustains our life starts threatening our lives. Loving life is the sane response.

Just arrived after ‘a you can write a book about the border crossing’ five hours.
