As the paddlers shared their stories and connections to J in that circle, it made me reflect on those conversations in Bimini, and then it really started to hit home. Despite the sudden and crushing loss of J, he put in place the framework for the Blue Mind Movement and it was staring at me in that golden moment on the deep, blue Atlantic Ocean. Water heals. Water is therapeutic. Water calms. Water is life. Water is crucial to human beings and to the countless denizens of the ocean, lakes and the land of our shared planet. J started this awareness with his book and his endless passion and we can, we must, carry that torch now.
