Well, the cruise was certainly about abundance… maybe even over abundance. It was impossible to take in everything on offer. Food every time you turned around. Classes and activities on the hour and the half hour. constant daylight. and more wildlife and beauty than you can process. I thought a lot about creation… there was so much…

There often is, in our lives. We frequently fail to see it. And when we can’t see the abundance, we get greedy. What happened in Alaska was that you couldn’t allow yourself to just see the food buffets. All light all the time and whales leaping off the bow, midships and stern? You had to stop and take notice. Precious is a little word for so large a landscape but it was profoundly precious. and profoundly Peaceful.
