August 06, 2025TBM-2508.06 – Mermaid Minute: Drifting with Porpoise
https://www.bathtubmermaid.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/TBM250806-MermaidMinute-DriftingWithPurpose.mp3
Description:
I was floating in my favorite cove this morning. Waves just right, ambiance somewhere between spa day and kelp explosion—and I pick up this essay from the Coral Library. Title says, “The Philosophy of Drifting with Purpose.” Very serious. Very highbrow. Smells faintly of seagrass and smugness.
