While I wait for photos and videos to back up to the new and suspicious external hard drive, thought I'd revisit the theme of this voyage. Sea Change. Ok a play on C-Change.  Most likable affiliation I noticed was a "Glasgow based organization committed to supporting real positive changes in the lives of individuals…" Although I like where I've come from, I would like to "build on the momentum". This was a catch phrase I picked up from working with IDEO a few years back.  IDEO is a Palo Alto based firm  dedicated to innovating around human behaviors. Anyway, as one turns the page…opens a new chapter…reinvents or even course-corrects, there is some exposure. You may feel naked, out of place, even a bit vulnerable. F'get about it. The feeling that is. The family was all recently in Hawaii and as I watched the massive waves approach shore I thought how people approach their golden, silver or rusty years. The following came to mind and really could apply to any sort of Sea Change:

Salty Frothy
The incessant march
Phalanxes of blue swells
Rhythmic orderly inevitable
White tipped as the end nears
Once tall now hunching
Sometimes stumbling tumbling
But ever moving forward
Some weaken, interest waning, shape melting
And then gone
Others long white manes flowing
Wind blown
Approach the end with weight and force
Their final statement loud and profound
