A spitual prelude
We are fortunate to live minutes from this spirtual place. It is like going to a symphony. Seeing birds , deer, sea otters , occasional whales, dolfins, and the emence joy when the pelicans dive in rock barges of the crresendo of the waves it is by far the best way to nurture the soul!
