Description:

Painting over a rainbow doesn’t erase the people who live it, love it, and shine it every single day. That’s like trying to paint over the tide. The water’s just going to wash back in.

TBM2508.24 – MermaidMinute: The Gulf of Mexico

by

Description:

Here in the water, we know the Gulf’s true name because it’s written in the currents, sung in whale-song, and traced in the migrations of sharks. Try to rename a living body of water? That’s like trying to rename the moon and expecting the tides to care.

TBM-2508.16 – Mermaid Minute: The Last Tide

by

Description:

The funeral itself isn’t about burial. We don’t put anyone in the sand. We build a shell barge — decorated with what they loved — and let the current take them. Aunt Coral had strings of pearls and her favorite coral comb. Old Finnback? A treasure chest full of maps he never used, because that man never admitted he was lost.
