A summary of our walks, our learning places, and our sought for next edge of ocean home.  We travel east again. We arrive at another ocean, and this is the story of our arrival.

the names of the people Paula Underwood writes into print as the story develops into book form. Thank you, Texas hill country, for holding a conference of enablers so I could be drawn to the feast!

We meet a people who had lived along the southern edge of the great walls of ice, and who wore forever clothing.  They ask us to teach them to swim, yet will not learn our straight leg kicking motion.  They were finding ocean growing higher on the land a challenge to traveling to safety away from the Angry Ones who rode the great beasts with the long head.  We help them find a way to cross to other islands by tying themselves to a shaped log, still wearing all their clothes, and aiding their very young, they accomplish their goal to reach their goal, even with self imposed difficulty.

This is a deeply satisfying and humorous dance for our imaginations.  It is a historical story about climate change, our newly hairless bodies, how we lost our hair, and how we survived a new ice age through the wisdom of a grieving aged grandfather and his desire to help the young ones survive as these nights grew colder.  

the value of listening ears.  A people lost on a faceless water .  Renewed purpose fills our hearts.  Let us remember our beginning.

how ancient wisdom had at one time, counted only eight winters.
