Lovely! I can feel the tension and the uncertainty... And the connection with nature which teaches us so much. 💜 Beautiful poem, Janell!

Amazing poem. Did you really see orcas???? How cool. I love all the birds, too.

Yes, I believe I did. One gentleman sitting at the beach said that a pod of orcas had been hanging out where the Dana Point whale watching boats go, and another gentleman walking along said that he had watched a feeding frenzy off the San Clemente pier. So, I don't think that my eyes deceived me. There was a photo in the Dispatch the next week of orcas the next week.
