21: Ocean Bonds Awakening

CHAPTER 21: Ocean Bonds Awakening

QUOTE: “From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to the Earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.” ― Jacques Cousteau

LESSON: Taking Responsibility for others, is that ok?

SYNOPSIS: Teaching scuba diving in Roatán brought me peace amidst the complexities of my relationship with Pierre. While Pierre shone in the kitchen, his attentiveness faltered elsewhere, so I took on the role of her caretaker during her stay. Melanie’s playful enthusiasm for the ocean deepened our bond. As the summer ended, her departure left the house quiet but highlighted the strength of the connections we had built.
