Petals of an exotic red blossom in a flower arrangement near the lobby of a resort in Akumal Mexico. Taken last November. (Please zoom in to view the 'hairs' on the petals.)

"Akumal" means "place of the turtle" in Maya. In addition to the sea turtles which lay their eggs on the beach (in holes which they dig) Akumal Bay is surrounded by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, which is continuous from Cancun on the north-eastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, south through the Riviera Maya to Honduras. It is the second largest coral reef system in the world.

Wisely, Step 10 does not emphasize a moral inventory, which becomes too self-absorbed and self-critical, but speaks instead of a “personal inventory.” In other words, just watch yourself objectively, calmly, and compassionately. You will be able to do this from your new viewing platform and perspective as a grounded child of God. “The Spirit will help us in our weakness” (Romans 8:26). From this most positive and dignified position, we can let go of, and even easily admit, our wrongs. We are being held so strongly and so deeply that we can stop holding onto, or defending, ourselves. God forever sees and loves Christ in us; it is only we who doubt our divine identity as children of God.
We now have an implanted position and power whereby we can see ourselves calmly and compassionately, without endless digging, labeling, judging, or the rancor that we usually have toward our own imperfection. Don’t judge, just look can be our motto— and now, with the very eyes of God. That will awaken consciousness, and then things will usually take care of themselves, with even the least bit of honesty and courage. A wonderful Indian Jesuit, Anthony de Mello (1931–1987), used to say, “Awareness, awareness, awareness!”…
… To be fully conscious would be to love everything, on some level and in some way—even our mistakes. To love is to fall into full consciousness, which is contemplative, non-dualistic, and includes everything—even “the last enemy to be destroyed, which is death itself” (1 Corinthians 15:26). That is why we must, absolutely must, love!

Taken at Lake Ellesmere. They are just beginning to put on their breeding colours.
Breeds in north-eastern Siberia and (more rarely) in north-west Alaska; migrates to south-east Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
Stints are the smallest of the migratory waders – barely the size of a sparrow. The red-necked stint is the only stint species to regularly occur in New Zealand, with up to 200 spending the southern summer here each year. They are most often seen at high-tide roosts associating with other small waders, especially wrybills, and other sandpipers.
SUNSET - Key West Harbor - Key West 2020
Key West, Florida - The Florida Keys - 12/3/20
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - touch of red]
*[sunset in the middle of the ocean - a beautiful thing]
*[I know the sky looks a little busy...but that is exactly
how it was...a lot going on! Exciting! Thanks for looking]
Every sunset is different, because every day; sun
is different, clouds are different, space is different,
reflections are different....mountains are different,
fogs are different, and above all, we are different.
― Mehmet Murat ildan
Sunsets are proof that no matter what
happens...every day can end beautifully.

Along the scenic drive in the Capitol Reef National Park, don't pass up the stop at the Slick Rock Divide. One gets great views along the winding once-underwater reef in this now high desert, ambling over this terrain as you wish. This is from Spring, 2023.
