A Blue Moon? We Weren’t Blue At All and Neither Was The Moon!

You humans are so funny with your constant comparisons, weighings, judgements, and compartmentalizing!

And blue? It was lovely and golden!

Don’t you get tired of always thinking?

We Mers enjoy life far more than you seem to, and this Wintry day you have deemed your “New Year’s Eve” is no different to us than any other day, but for the fact that we deplore our noisy use of fireworks - we instead adore the stars and the heavenly sky. They are so marvelously beautiful on their own! No adornments, no other distractions needed.

We Mers eschew calenders, weights, measures, and other stupidities that only minimize your existence.

Is it your constant need to feel in control that drives your silly attempts at owning Nature?

No wonder you humans have such a need to dilute your days and nights with stimulants and alcohol!

What a waste!

Don’t you know that life is brief?

And so, so very precious?

And so, under the gorgeous full moon, we’ve stayed far from shore and your noise that frightens fish and ruins the sleep of all other animals including the humans who merely had wished to sleep through the cold night, and we’ve had a wonderful time, just living and loving under the very full moon.

Try being natural some time - you’ll love it!

Wintertime

It's Winter in half of the world.
Beautiful in some places, we Mers love the cold, being fish who can indulge in cold water exploration, and I've been to both the polar caps since I"ve last transmitted info to Ocean for this blog.
Iciness, whether in filigree patterns or in massive bergs is glorious, especially when struck by the Sunlight.
How do we enjoy the extreme cold, being slender as are all fish, and not bulky as the sea mammals are?
It's all in The Mers, Ocean's book trilogy that is largely dictated by me, since, let's face it, even surfers like Ocean and even Navy Seals do not know the first thing about our lives in the sea.
Being a sea dwellers is so different from being a land lubber that only I as a Mer could lead humans through, if not the reality of being undersea, then at least through the epic stories about our lives there. As much as Ocean has explained what being a human is like to me, I admit that I could never truly understand what it is to be an air-breathing, land dwelling mammal - nor would I want to if it meant spending even one moment as one of you!
Forgive me, but really, those old Mermaid Tales about Mers who long to be with humans and to live as them are simply ludicrous to us!
If you knew even a fraction of how lush and paradisical our lives were, you'd abandon all your old stories at once!
I suppose that your desire to live as Mers has always been so intense that your mythologies have grown to express a need to appreciate your lives on the land, since you have no real choice. Nor, of course, do I, but I do think most humans - so many of whom I've witnessed sighing and looking at the seas of the world - would adore being one of the Mers.
And not just because we can travel easily, quickly, and while having fun - yes, our freedom is the primary thing - and can visit exotic locales on our planet at will, and not just because there are so many of the Mers enjoying the ice and snow, communing with Polar Bears and being with Penguins and at the same time, so many more in tropical waters, indulging in everything fun there!
Meanwhile, my idea is to urge everyone to enjoy life wherever he or she is! It's all good!

And here is Ocean's painting of me enjoying the icy waters near - make note of this - The North Pole, water-dancing and playing chase with some locals like Polar Bears, Walruses, and Orcas! Stay tuned to hear more about my adventures in the farthest North, and I just might visit the most famous person of the North! (Hint - he's humanish, though not really human - super-human, in fact, and wears red!)
