It’s been a long time coming.
It turns out that when fish spray out of the water like a fountain, they are running for their lives. And people still try to get here on handmade rafts. There were enormous rays leaping. A lost alligator. A nesting leather back. Real sharks came in close. She shows off a lot. Sunbeam sparklers and acrobatic waves. Ignoring the rain. Dolphins really do play.

Each of my parents came and walked with me. Swam with me. The children are tall and strong. Race often at my side. I am leaner. Browner.
We have all lived with less, and it all means that much more. When you have everything, all that you need, all that you love, there is nothing left but gratitude. Perhaps a measure of fear. And then, new callings. The desire to make something new. To build it. Piece by piece. Jump or dive. Hold on tight.
So tonight, when SHARKFLAG goes live, the ocean will know that our hearts are in it.
