Story & Experience
We had a marvelous time overlooking the Chesapeake Bay on Savage Neck Rd—perennial Rad Joy location! It was a wild stormy evening so we did most of our “Earth Exchange” inside. We had a wonderful exchange of insights, stories, and activities about water, the Bay, sea turtle strandings, etc. The rain and lightning let up enough for us to go into the water just as the sun was setting. The clouds and sun seemed to make a bird outline (didn’t quite catch it on film, but you get the idea), so we took that as our RadJoy bird! We had written words of love, support, blessings on shells that came from the beach and threw them back in the water—Blessing the water Masuro Emoto style! (We had also written on our own skin with affirmations acknowledging that we are vessels containing our own water!) Great finale to our discussion about our connection to water and the consciousness of water. I’m sure the Bay is grateful! Happy Earth Exchange and Summer Solstice to all! Annie
