My Earl Grey was steeping as I happened upon your piece. I rose up a little earlier to start the pattern of doing something I have not done before. Your words are a balm and an exhortation. Thank you!
.. your astonishing work of the Water Spirits .. that’s light years deeper & beyond where I’m going with ‘Turks Gambit’.. a Spec Feature Fiction story.. Yet I intend to draw extremely resonant & factual themes into the story. The story outline or synopsis was unpublished mid week for extensive revision. It’s set in Provo for good reason & I’d be delighted to take advantage of your thoughts & even contributions. This is your ‘stack & already I feel somewhat off base using so much of your special space to explain..
I couldn’t & cannot comment on your Water Spirits stack as somethin blocks me.as ‘error 404’ on Memoir Land.. Ms Sari Bottom graciously gave me Paid Subscriber status (i was a newbie here’ & another Commenter suggested I was a Troll.. thus of all places for a serious Memoir Writer to be Blocked .. I get a pink box to comment in that will not post.. c’est la vie eh !)
There is more synchronicity afoot too ! My stack includes a post Water Sprite with my love snorkelling near Stubbs Point on Grace Bay with translucent Palometa - ‘Stubbs’ is a reknowned ‘Belonger’ surname & we’ve met descendants on the island. I’ve shot mucho Docu Assignments re Tourism & Travel / Hotel & Resort / Transportation & Aviation / Culture & Technology.. haha.. an early assignment was Mexico as the ‘Mexican Riviera’ became a thing.. yes Akumel etc.. the very early resorts.. hell I damn near drowned not far from there - an off day from shooting the Fairmont Mayakoba.. as due to heavy flooding piraña swam freely from the mangroves into the property ! Hoo Haw !
But I do drone on here.. Please feel free to reach me via email tod1951@hotmail.com and as suggested the ‘Turks Gambit’ should be back up tomorrow for your reading pleasure .. & there are 6 prior posts re Production Notes / Characters / Sample Dialogue / Camera Notes / Settings / Environment & Marine Life / Historic Aspects etc.. though all of those need drastic updating .. & yes - all this is created onsite - in situ ‘here’ on ‘SubStack
You’ll see other Artists’ Work spotlighted on my Salamander Horde Site - It’s Free forever & there will never be Any Politics or Religion.. ever never.. ever there amen eh ! 🏴☠️🦎
.. lovin this.. ! Was struck dumb by a previous writing re ‘open water’ that astonished me with its synchronicity to an endeavour of mine.. and one that sparked immediately subscribing ! Your work transcends my Canadian ‘bias’ haha ! But a glowing heart is what it is.. eh ! 🏴☠️🦎🇨🇦
I’m currently developing a Spec Story Outline / Treatment / Script / Screenplay set on Providentiales TCI that’s re thoroughly Contemporary Marine Environment related. There are embedded threads reaching back into Slavery/Plantation tying back into Haiti, Bermuda , USA - at least one Canadian protagonist is a World Class black swimmer with related distant heritage - There is Diving, Snorkelling, Sport Fishing re Bonefish & the ecology - Open Water & Mangrove Shallows.. you can see where this is going haha !
yes.. you mention them .. For an uncertified diver.. It’s surprising what I know of scuba diving, free diving, underwater welding & demolition, sharks, orca etc .. but I grew up watching Sea Hunt & never stopped watching anything Jacques Cousteau or reading Anything ! Diving the Angela Doria - yes, Anything with Nautilus or submarine, The Big Blue - seen several times
But I can say the same re Mount Everest, Sports & Sporting Life.. Cinema, Music ..
I’m so very interested in your Diving ! Your story !
Wow. I just melted into tears of recognition deep in my bones. This is a beautiful truth that many of us can take in and then look at our own illusions - the stuff we chase when we don't trust the true winds we're all compelled soulfully to chase. Thank you Kerra.
You are a brilliant and emotive writer.
The illusions you chase and then share with your pain from doing just that are priceless to the rest of us chasing what isn't true to our souls. We all need to cut that shit out and get to it as if all of THIS life HERE and NOW depends on it.
Not having the financial support for it is the biggest illusion of all. And it ENRAGES me when I see humans like you believing it. I HAVE to do something about that... Thanks for this opening to get beyond my own illusions and get to my own soul work.
Aine, why are you making me cry during the workday? (Laughing through tears.) Thank you SO much for sharing your comment. WE are limitless. And we can't let the illusions run the show. Sending you lots of love and care.
Thank you for this! You are quickly becoming one of my favorite writers on here. Good luck on your journey. Keep chasing the wind
Awww, thank you. I appreciate it.
Wow, I’m a little lost for words. Your soul conversation did not just strengthen you, it empowered all of us. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you! I'm glad it's not just me. And I'm grateful my story resonated with you.
My Earl Grey was steeping as I happened upon your piece. I rose up a little earlier to start the pattern of doing something I have not done before. Your words are a balm and an exhortation. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I pull out the Earl Grey when I need to focus, listen or write. Toasting to you with a cup of Earl Grey.

Wow! That sounds amazing. Reading your description reminded me of Black pearl divers in the Caribbean. I have no idea why.
.. you mention black pearl divers in your Water Spirits ‘stack.. non ?
I can't remember if I have or not in "The Water Spirits" essay. They are important and I need to research them more.

Beautifully written, and beautifully spoken. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you for reading, as always.
