Right now it's easy to slip into feeling disconnected. So learning about his experience of getting connected comes at the right time. Thanks...

I loved it. The relationship they established was gorgeous. The communication, acknowledgement, loss.

It reminded me of a book I had just finished "The Overstory" by Richard Powers which is about the relationship between living things above ground, i.e. trees, flowers, bees, humans, etc. Everyone and everything is communicating just as they are in the understory, or underwater world.

Maybe to disguise it. And the plural is octopuses. Not to be nitpicky.

spellingly correct.

I think sometimes Calamari is squid at least around here. That's what a waiter told me recently.

you put "i" on the end to pluralize it. But since it's a Greek word, "es" is the plural. That's what I've always heard.
