Ocean's debut as an author! The Sea Wraithe has surfaced!

Here at Amazon !

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 20:10:00 +0000

Here are some new transmissions by The Mermaid:

Greetings to all of you on the land territories.
I'm not used to talking, (i.e., transmitting ideas pictorially to the singer, songwriter, and writer, Ocean, who then transcribes them to her fellow humans) so much, but since you are so wonderful who are involved with Ecoize in wanting to save our shared Planet, Sea, along with us Mers, I'm going to start sharing a lot more.

Please show me a little patience, since I must find ways to describe our undersea Worlds to you in ways you can more easily understand, plus sharing details about our own styles of living.
I will make this first entry rather brief, since I'm still introducing myself to you all.
And thank you so much for interpreting this for me.
My mission in speaking with you is vital to all of the Mers.

Not only have I decided to make contact out of curiosity, but I've been elected, since I'd made friends with a human who is Compassionate, (Vegan) by my group - like your villages - and all Fish hate the word "School" to describe our family groups! We're not as helpless as newborn as are you primates! - to learn more about the World Above the Water, or Territory, as we call your land world.
The reason is that since you have been more and more intrusive into our Merritory - what we call our Underwater World - and frankly, the sonar, the noise pollution, the constant bomb testing, and the pollution is life-threatening for everyone on our planet, so we must learn to find solutions together.
So, I'm here to find them.
It will take the committment to care from the Landed People, since you're the ones destroying our world.

We've long had the capacity to use machinery, as you land beings do, and to change things.
This is nothing to be proud of.
Any clever primate, like humans, can figure things like that out, given the need, just as we fish beings can. It's all in the appendages - and we, like you, have fingers and opposable thumbs, even though we have a transparent webbing between them.

We long, long ages ago figured out that the things we could create to make our own lives a bit easier were not in the long run beneficial either to us as individuals or to the group of Mers as a whole, and nothing we could make would ever benefit all the other animal groups - far from it.
We've always been close to Nature.
We prefer the Natural World the way it is.
We're here to protect it - to protect Her, Our Planet, Sea.

I know you call Her Earth, but since She's mostly water, our name for Her fits.
Planet Sea doesn't refer just to the Watery World, but to All Our Planet.

Saturday, by your reckoning. In Merritory, of course.
Since we don't have air-breathing equipment, but gills, as with all fish, my time above is very limited above sea level.
Time? We, of course, have our own measurements but we don't measure time at all.
We seldom have a need to measure anything.
The Mers take a different view of everything you landed beings do, and it's going to take a long book or series of books to find ways of explaining who we are to you.
It's essential that we understand each other, though, for the future and for our shared planet.
Starting from a cultural perspective is the best way.
By the way, do you know how we two communicate? The land being and I?
There are different senses we Mers possess, and a few of you on land have rudimentary means of using these same extra senses.
To us they're commonplace, but to you, I understand from my human contact, they're extraordinary.
I'll have to dealve into some scientific explantions here, so I'll save it for next posting.
I'm getting a bit dizzy from having to be so near the surface and the bright sunlight for so long, so I'm going to take a long dive down and get refreshed.
Good Night for now!

On The Mers and Sunlight

Someone has asked the person who translates these for the public to ask me about the Mers and the sunlight.

We tend to be deep water fish most of the time, so our eyes have to adjust to the daytime above the seas. We can only stay above in the shallow water for just so long while the sun is at its' brightest.
The night time is when the Mers do most of their shoreline swimming.
This is another reason why we Mers have been long associated with the moon, with magic and even with what you term witchcraft.
We don't need any such thing to cause things to happen, though, the way you Earth walkers do.
Our powers are more extensive just naturally.
And we don't like to cause harm.
I understand that the term "witchcraft" can mean white or black magic, but either way, we don't need magic, and yet what we do you humans would probably name as that since our ordinary gifts seem that way to you.
Since we tend to be more universal in our world view and especially since we are compassionate toward all beings equally and are vegan, we only use that type of power when we are protecting someone, like a sea turtle or a jellyfish, another Mer, and sometimes, if the human is a kind, vegan, we'll save him or her too.

Toward Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and toward Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere

I love to watch the Spring season unfold, swimming by, mainly at nighttime, since I want to remain undetected - usually, lovers or lonely human strollers by the sea who glimpse me with my head momentarily out of the water attribute my presence to a visit by a local seal or sea lion - but some who are sure they've seen a face similar to theirs tell themselves that I'm a healthy, strong human swimmer who loves moonlit dips - I watch the greenery of the Spring season when it arrives, as the tiny, baby leaves appear, and grow into glossy and rich green, and then, as the flower buds start, I notice, and then later, I swim along the shoreline and relish every year inhaling the fragrance of the land plants when their blooms are at their fullest.
Of course, the sea plants also have their flowerings, and I adore them too, and yet, the perfume of the land flowers is so intense!
And the way the breeze slightly ruffles the petals, making them stir and reveal their forms - so exquisite!
I enjoy the landed parts of our planet just as you do!
Often I get the chance to swim along in daytime too, when the rich colors of Spring beckon.
I love the fuzzy bees, with their bold stripes, and the butterflies!
I love watching all the Spring babies arrive, and often I frolic in the water with tiny seal pups, and little dolphins, and occasionally, I get to play with land babies too!
I watch as your human kids splash in the water too, as we all do, and wish all humans were kind enough to reveal ourselves to.
We love vegans, since they're absolutely compassionate to all beings.
Now comes Spring!

Love Addiction - Love Junkie Music Video by Ocean

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 19:16:00 +0000

Add caption

New Video on YouTube, Love Junkie by Ocean!

About love addiction, a funk rap rock grunge song with great rhythms and heavy guitars! A film noir music video showing a love addicted singer and her boyfriend in the band who she always leaves waiting for her while she in this case goes out joy riding on a Harley with another beau. Nice footage of Ocean's band. A dark, haunting atmosphere shows the vacuity of love addictions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc2JIGlKcnc

I'm adding this gorgeous black and white music video on love addiction by the human I transmit info to because it haunted me. I admit that while I don't really have a problem with being addicted to mermen, or to one in particular, I am involved in a relationship as I'd mentioned earlier, with a very difficult merman.
This subject brings up the intricacies of all relationships.
We all have issues, varying in degrees, with our live-ins, especially if we're not really into them, the way I feel at this point about the merman who constantly pursues me.
In the video, the girl is obsessively pursued by the guy in the band who feels he owns her, while she goes out and tries to be free.
This is sort of what I am going through, except I'm not at all interested in going out with other mermen now - he'd follow me!
Anyway, the idea of being stuck on anyone or anything so that we get fixated on whatever the being or substance is is really outside my sphere.
I see it all around me, and it's not easy for those who suffer with these afflictions - addictions - but it's ALSO really difficult to be the object of obsession by someone who's addicted to you!

"I love the song by Ocean, and I love the mix of rap and metal, plus her really cool vocals." - This was written by one of Ocean's fans.
I thought I'd share a music video for a change, so enjoy it!

Mermaids and Mermen? Worldwide Interest in The Mers Through History

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 23:21:00 +0000

Ocean Art, c. 2012, The Mers

Being a Mermaid, and being one of the few who have ever made any sort of contact with humans puts me in a rather unique position, and brings many questions that I pose to Ocean, the human I communicate with.
Of course, only to combine our strengths, ideally, to find a way to save our shared Planet, Sea, have I come forward, and only urgently would I ever.
Our history - the parallel worlds of The Mers and of humans, has never converged, and only very few sightings by some very lucky humans have convinced some of you that we actually exist.
The Mers, since humans behavior has been so suicidal against their - our- own home, our only planet - have studiously avoided contact, but we have studied you, much as you might study a subject that did not particularly interest you, but was necessary to your own survival to learn about.

I have no idea why you humans are so apparently obsessed with the idea of Mers, unless it has to do with the fact that - as yet - there is no proof that we exist, except in human imagination.

And - why do humans imagine fairytale beings at all?

Well, first of all, as a Mermaid, I can tell you that we are not obsessed with humans in the same way. Most obviously, because we know for sure that you exist!

So, let's say we take away the mystery about the existence of the Mers conclusively - not that we will ever let that happen, but...for the sake of this discussion - it still seems obvious that, given the prevalence of your myths and legends spanning the range of behaviors attributed to us Mers, there might even be more obsession with us.

And, as we suspect, most likely, annoying us, chasing us, and attempting to photograph and film us would become the number one human occupation.

So, now that you understand that we do not want to be among you for many, many reasons, we can go back to our ideas of why humans are interested in the Mers.

Not that fish aren’t fascinating - all of us - but there is that pesky resemblance to humans, that even Mers admit to, so there is the most obvious reason for our constant appearance in your bodies of mythologies from nations all over the world.

And, the silence from Mers, except for our singing that humans hear on occasion, allows the innate human quality of creation to fill in the blanks with whatever is in his or her head at the time, so myths abound in both directions - having Mers be good or bad, according to the story.

Naturally you find us beautiful and handsome, since we do resemble humans above the waist.

And, I must admit our voices are lovely, without exception. It’s just part of being a Mer. And did you know that all fish talk and sing? Yes, and many other fish species sing with great ability.

Humans are amazingly myopic. Egocentrism is the norm, and it’s used by humans all too often in order to objectify other beings in order to visit cruelty upon them.

Do you understand why we have so little to do with your specie?

At times, having seen us - male and female - seated upon rocks or sandy islets, engaged in one of our necessary occupations like combing out our tresses, I suppose the idea of the vanity of the Mers has become attached to us - quite unfairly!

Imagine the tangles we must endure!

Fashioning combs out of shells or even using combs found on the sea floor and using them is a mundane and necessary task for us, but we are often perceived as vain and petty. We are far from thinking about how gorgeous or hunky we are when we’re merely making our manes manageable!

Oh, the things that have been said!

We’re individuals, as are humans and as are members of every specie.

Some are more into themselves than others, of course, but usually, we’re just living our lives, humming to ourselves and enjoying the sunshine on our scales - and holding our breath, of course - our water, that is, since we breathe water, and can only sit in the air for brief times!

So, it’s necessary to put oneself in others’ shoes - or, fins - via empathy - for either the Mers or the humans to attempt to understand each other.

I will continue to transmit on this subject as we go along.

For now, though, I’m off for a brisk swim!

All Mermaids and Mermen are Vegan Fish

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:42:00 +0000

I just thought I'd point this rather obvious fact out, but, being Mers, meaning the breed of fish that we are, Mermaids and Mermen, we are among the groups of fish who are Vegan.
It seems so obvious, given our sleek builds and athletic prowess, doesn't it?
Also, since we roam the Seas doing what we all can to save our Brethren, the other Fish species, and even many Mammals who become, sadly, entangled in the humans' driftnets - aren't they meant to be universally against all plaentary laws by now?

Isn't it time for all humans to become Vegan? Don't they want our shared World to live?
Don't they care about suffering of their fellow beings?
Don't they want to breathe good air and for us to breathe good water?

Where are your religions up there in the air world?

I was telling Ocean - the human I transmit information to - the other day, via our own wavelength, that she should tell more people about The Mers, about how much we need for humans to align with us to save our planet, Sea!

Don't they all realize that ninety percent - 90 % !!! - of all the Seven Seas' Fish - OUR FAMILY AND YOURS - are gone forever!!!

It Is URGENT that we all become Vegan, Child-Free - yes, humans, you are breeding us all into extinction! - and to do all we can to save who and what we can!

Please, please, listen to a Mermaid, even if you ignore the other humans!

I have made unprecedented contact with a human merely in order to let you know We Exist and We Need Your Help!

Please respond and please go vegan NOW!
Thank you.

Battery, Abuse, Bullying

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Tue, 01 May 2012 03:57:00 +0000

I hate to admit that, even on this blog thing that Ocean writes when she comes to the sea and I transmit it to her, I have been abused physically. Even though he can't ever read this. That would make me afraid, but Mermen don't read, or speak, or understand your human languages, and, living in water, we can't have anything to do with electrical contraptions like the silver box Ocean brings with her when we meet.
Why, she asked me, do you hate to admit something that was done to you?
It's because it makes you feel shame, ashamed, that you weren't able to get away when someone bigger than you was hurting you.
The horror lasts. The feeling of having to swim away at any second, at never being able to trust any Mermen again, oh, just lots of fears...
My head is hurt.
There is a bump on it and a cut in the middle of what you call a forehead.
I was so afraid!
Not only because of the physical danger he put me in, but, since I knew I was bleeding - although our blood is entirely different from yours, just like all fish blood - and just knowing that any sharks nearby would be able to smell my blood and...it was horrifying!
I couldn't get away from him!
His possessiveness and mania to keep me from leaving him is so scary!
I don't feel free.
I feel owned!
And unlike so many humans, I do not have a family.
Some Mers, born in big clusters of eggs, emerge together, or around the same time, siblings, and they continue to be friendly all their lives, but in many cases, as with other fish eggs, many become dislodged from where the mother fish had lain them, and float wherever.
Some stay together, a very few, as in my case. I had been lain with I suppose a cluster of eggs, and one other remained close to me as we drifted away...so I had one siblings, a Brother.
A magnificent Merman, who'd been an enchanting MerBoy, a close, close sibling whom I adored more than all others in the world!
How I miss him now!
He would have torn that Merman to pieces for harming me!
I wouldn't have had to be alone with him, for my Brother would always have stayed within range for me.
I will tell what happened to my Brother another day.
For now, I will only relate that he is no longer on our, or your, plane.
Oh, yes, Mers die too.
Or are killed.
And I felt like I might be killed two days ago, on Saturday by your human reckoning. We Mers do not attempt to name or label much of Nature. We do not restrain or try to retain time. We go only by tides and currents and of course, Moons.
We have no need to measure, to weigh, or to compartmentalize.
We live in the free ocean, the Seven Seas.
Free for most - but never for battered Mermaids.
Not if a renegade or a domineering Merman is stalking them.

For now, I am safe.
For now.
I am healing from my ordeal, and happy I am alive.
I still do not know how to extricate myself safely from this relationship.
He swears he will not let me go - alive.
He'll find me wherever I go and...and...
He says he cannot live without me.
Of course, he doesn't ask how I feel.
I used to feel I loved him.
But love is feeling safe, first, and feeling free, second.
And I only feel scared...

A Near Escape

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 20:57:00 +0000

I have to write about this.
Sometime ago, I'd mentioned the Merman I'm seeing.
Still seeing, stupidly.
Partly becasue I'm not sure, caught off-guard, and partly because I'm afraid to leave him, since he stalks me when I do, I'm still seeing him.

Physical abuse hurts.
Hurts our psyches, our feelings, our feelings of self-worth.
He, this Merman, who is literally twice my size, and, being a Mer, is a very powerful male, is so afraid of losing me that he has made me want to leave him.
By being so possessive, by being so scary to me, and by, as with two nights ago, being physically abusive to me, he's making me wish he was an an entirely different ocean.

When his paranoia made him perceive that I was unhappy and he felt that I was about to leave for good, he threw me into a rocky cliffside, near where we had been swimming, eating the seaweeds that grow along the bank, and then, threatening to kill us both if he couldn't keep me, he put his hands across my mouth and nose, stopping me from taking in water!

I could have died!
And now my neck and shoulders, my side, and my spirit hurts.

I could have others help me - some Mermen I know - but then, I'd still be looking over my fins everywhere I turned, wondering when he would emerge through the gloom and overtake me - and really take us both down for good!

Oh, yes, Mermen, as your land men, get this way.
Far too many Mermaids and land women die at the hands of these vicious, controlling males every year.

Brutality, bullying someone smaller than oneself, is a horrible crime, and sometimes we feel there is nowhere to turn, no way to get away.

I'm praying to God for a door to open - the right door for me, and to be protected in the meantime, and I pray for all females, all kids, all smaller than the brutes they are forced to live around, until their liberation comes and they can, again, be free.

Pry for me.

The cure for anything is to do something to help someone who is helpless.
I've been swimming near Mexico, where the heroic people there have been lobbying and marching to stop the cruelty of bull fighting. It should be called something else, because it is not a fight, and not fair to the helpless bull, trapped in a ring with cruel people yelling while he is mercilessly stuck!

Do You Love Your Mother? Mothers are Great! Would You Please Help These Sweet Mommies?

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 22:52:00 +0000

Mermaids and Mermen love the idea of Mommies and Daddies.

We don't ever know ours, being fish - we're spawned from chance by millions of eggs and sperm being releaesd into the water and then our eggs collect on strands of seaweed.

To have a mommy is a great thing. To be born of her body, to be nurtured, nursed, and to have her loving arms around you mammals as little babies is great.

Will you please help these sweet Mommies today! Just send an email to help them.

They deserve our love.

The Sea Wraithe by Ocean is HERE ! Ocean's Thriller Suspense Horror Mystery Novel !

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 00:45:00 +0000

Ocean's new novel, The Sea Wraithe, is a nail-bitingly intense suspense thriller novel of obsession set in the surfing community of Malibu, California, in the late eighties, when surfing had just begun to become a worldwide cultural phenomenon.

It's hot anti-hero, the protagonist-antogonist combined, is a character you will never forget - like Emily Bronte's Healthcliff, if he'd been a pro surfer, and his part - when this book becomes a movie - is one any leading actor will die to play. The ultra-shocking, contraversial ending to this novel will have you talking about it for years !

Do you know what a Wraithe is?

The feminine of the word, of course, and it is a special type of spirit, a ghost, but one that is sometimes seen even before someone's death. Often a wraith has a specific mission or message to impart to the living.

Wow! I'm getting chills just thinking about how frightening a wraithe is!

Please Contact Your Senators and Stop Cruelty With Me!

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 01:11:00 +0000

I but am so saddened by what some humans - many are deluded, enslaved females who will do anything to cater to what they think of as male attention, even negative attention. Weirdos, naturally, and real losers.
Hot chicks would never have to work for attention, .
These are desperate women who could never attract any males, but they are aberrant, mentally ill psychopaths in the most vile an unattractive way.

I'm speaking of cruelty videos.

Legislation has passed the House of Representatives that will enforce the anti-cruelty laws.
Now, we all want to let the Senate know that Americans, (Yes, I'm an American Mermaid too! Didn't you think that we members of other animal species are also patirotic Americans? All the horses, dogs, and cats in this area I know are also Americans !) all want humane treatment of innocent, helpless beings, especially of infants and babies.

Make phone calls too, and let all your friends know.
Also, let the internet providers, the sites, the media, and especially the search engines and sponsors of sites that show these cruel videos that we will all stop giving them traffic, and that we will not buy products from the ads they run.

Please help us spread compassion. The world has enough sadness already. Let's turn things around.
Start here:

U.S. Rep. Elton Gallegly (D-CA) introduced the legislation to address theSupreme Court's decision to strike down 18 U.S.C. Sec. 48 which prohibited the creation, sale and possession for commercial gain of illegal animal cruelty.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
The bill now goes to the U.S. Senate. Find your 2 U.S. Senators here, and write (faxes or letters are best) or call and urge them to support this important legislation! Also, sign Animal Law Coalition's petition to Congress to pass legislation overturning the Supreme Court decision.

Baby Manatees

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:22:00 +0000

This evening I've been swimming with two baby manatees - that is, they swam out to me, curious, playful, and quite adorable!
So innocent of the things happening now in the Gulf of Mexico.
You can imagine how happy I was when Ocean came out to the end of a jetty in Florida, where we both are in order to assist in any ways we can, and told me that the gushing oil is being stopped at this point.
We're praying constantly anyway!
But it just felt wonderful to have hope again!
Hope, the sages tell us, is a very strong way to bring good vibes in, and its' attendant faith in God, held devotedly, must help all of us fish, mammals, and reptiles in the Gulf!
These little guys today, though, were so joyous, and were venturing forth without the adults possibly for the first time!
Gravitating to an area where dogs too were swimming - Ocean had brought her own rescued dogs out for a swim - the manatee babies kept lifting their cute, doughy heads out of the water with their large, questing eyes peering around, making contact by swimming just feet away, and entirely enjoying making the acquaintance of the world!
They're such exquisite beings, and so large and grand!
These little manatee kids were around five feet or so, and naturally, I resisted the urge to touch them - it's wisely against the human laws to touch manatees, and any other sea being, and so I respect them and their privacy too - we Mers always wait for other beings to make contact with us as they wish - so I merely smiled back and admired them!
The Gulf is such a beautiful place - in the areas that are so far untouched - and taking some time off from helping with the clean up has been lovely.
I try not to be too gloomy about the future prospects of other disasters.
We Mers can only hope that all you humans take heed and change your world by becoming politically active.
Read Ocean's page here too for more ideas.

And visit the Ecoize Manatee Pages too!

Keep Praying With All Your Souls

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:38:00 +0000

Please, everyone, keep praying, keep donating to all the kind agencies who help wildlife, like Humane Society, IWF, NRDC, and Peta, and learn to meditate - asking God for help in healing the Gulf of Mexico.

I'm there now, helping to save our wildlife.

Come down and volunteer if you at all can!

Otherwise, donate, please and PRAY!

Prayer For The Gulf of Mexico and Wildlife

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:25:00 +0000

I was given a copy of an email from Ingrid, a European herbalist-philosopher, who has asked us all to combine in a joint prayer, a worldwide healing "net" that we can hold over the Gulf of Mexico together many times daily, and can ask God for an immediate miracle to save lives there, and to save our environment, to change hearts and minds, and to empower all those who are helping.

This is exactly what I had begun doing, instinctively, as soon as it had happened - the explosion in the Gulf of Mexico - asking God while holding a vision in my mind of the gush diminishing into nothingness, and turning back into the clear, pale, sea green water of before.

Please join with us all! Pray many times daily!

And donate! HumaneSociety.org

And go down, as I am, and help in person, if you can!

Tears Of A Child

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:20:00 +0000

Tears Of A Child

On a precious little heroine, Olivia Bouler, whose photo is above.

Experts tell us that there are one in every twenty-five humans who are sociopaths.
Experience lets us know that there are either more, or that many people, who at worst are easily led, choose to sleep-walk through life and to allow the sociopaths to ruin our planet.

I cannot imagine choosing to bequeath a ruined planet to our children.
OUR children.

As our planet belongs to all of us in concert - all beings, all life - so, too, do the children of all beings, of all species.

I have written before on the rapacious greed that has fed the nefarious oil industry and those who live off corporate investments, and on how it amazes me that they can sleep at night, knowing the world that they are ruining for their own kids, grandkids, and for the children of everyone else.

The most poignant response I have seen to this epic tragedy is by a beautiful young child named Olivia, whose lovely portraits of birds she has donated in the cause of helping the innocent animals caught in the oil. In the news story, Olivia, who was then walking away with her mother and who had assumed she was finished being filming, broke down, crying, and sobbing, "The birds are so innocent! It's not their fault! They don't deserve this!"

And my heart broke and I, too, began sobbing inconsolably.
Feeling the deaths all around me, feeling helpless to stop it, has been the worst thing I have ever experienced in my life.

And seeing that young child of such a tender age suffering under the burden of tenderness for the countless beings who we've lost, or are losing, or will lose, and, despite appealing to our Creator, despite donating, and despite giving of ourselves and our time and labor...despite all, knowing that cruel and powerful people who could have stopped this much earlier were too late to act...

All of this...

Pray for little Olivia, for the Humane Society, for all the heroic volunteers now in the Gulf of Mexico, helping any way they can, and pray for the little souls who cannot understand, who cannot help themselves, and who are the victims of human greed.

World Tragedy in the Gulf Waters

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Fri, 21 May 2010 18:09:00 +0000

The tragedy in our - OUR - waters, belonging to ALL of us in the world - is far too immense for Mers, as well as for humans, to appreciate yet.

Let me say that I was astounded that B.P. and the American Government, as well as every so-called phiilanthropic billionaire - as well as the State of Florida whose tourism industry makes over 65 Billion dollars every year - had not even by the end of the first week, let alone by the first day of the horrible spew, thrown everything they had toward the stopping of the flow and the clean-up.

Ocean played a clip from a news item for me in which a person was bemoaning the fact that it might take over 450 Million dollars to clean up what has happened. Only millions? It will take billions and billions of dollars! And what of money? Isn't this the way it was meant to be spent???? Why on Earth were they speaking of "cost" in a time like this???

Oh, yes, ...and it appears that the oil people waited until they could profit from this tragedy...how cold!

And the news people - only dwelling on the fishing industry???

What of the lives at stake!!! The helpless wildlife! The plants! The beauty! The safety of the elements!

Where is decency? Where is caring? Definitely NOT among Republicans whose sole purpose in life is to create and maintain profits and power - a Party of Sociopaths, which should be their name.

Don't you think they should be afraid of going to Hell? The lies they tell - constant lies told by the henchmen who lead the others - directing all the blame for the havoc they've caused to innocent factions! No wonder so many former Republicans finally see that party for what it is - a bald and evil group of self-serving sociopaths, at least at the helm. Decent ones will definitely depart the Republicans!

Ocean Blowing Kisses To All Those Who Are Compassionate To All Beings!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Check Out These Luscious Vegan Treats for Valentine's Day!

I asked Ocean to allow us to use her photo of her blowing kisses to all kind humans who care enough about their fellow beings who are members of other species in order that I could help vegans promote great vegan recipes.

I like your Valentine's Day!

We Mers might just have to start having one below the water!

I know I will - with my Merguy!

The Mermaid Ask All People To Help Horses Now!

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 01:33:00 +0000

You can give horses a second chance
While The HSUS and horse rescue organizations across the country work tirelessly to give every horse a second chance, thousands of American horses are still shipped across our borders each week for slaughter because the horse slaughter industry can outbid them.
Ask your U.S. Representative and Senators and to support The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act (H.R. 503/S. 727). It will ban the barbaric killing of American horses for human consumption, including the export of horses across our borders for slaughte

Let's Give Horses a Second Chance

"Dear Ocean,

It's one of the saddest sights I'll ever see: a young mare who was someone's faithful friend on trails or in show rings being forced into a truck headed to a slaughterhouse, where she'll be killed to make meals for diners in other countries.

But one of the happiest sights I've seen is a once-unwanted horse blossoming in a new, caring home.

That's what keeps us working: shutting down horse slaughter plants and fighting to stop long-distance transport of live horses to their deaths in Mexico and Canada.

Let's work together to ensure that horses are sent to new homes, not the dinner plate. Learn how. Thank you for all you do for animals."

That is the email alert sent to Ocean. Naturally, she shared it with me, and I have shared it with all the Mers.

We adore horses - don't you?

They were originally a gift of the Sea God to humans. Did you know that?

Yes, Horses, with their glorious, entrancing beauty, were first Sea Beings.

Peer into the on-rushing surf and you can still see the Sea Horses racing toward the shore. Not the tiny type of SeaHorses, but the large ones, like your gorgeous Horses on land.

Please go and help them! Save our American Horses!

Horses more than any other being created America. Without the Horse, America would not be a nation.

Please, if you have a horse - if you are that lucky - keep him or her! Otherwise, their fates are hideous.

You know how precious, kind, sensitive, intelligent, and loving Horses are, don't you?

PLEASE help them NOW!

Pray For WIldlife - Sea Turtles

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 14:48:00 +0000

I, and all the Mers, are extremely worried and distressed about the severe cold visiting even Southern Florida and beyond these days!

The wildlife, of course, along with any pets of people who are so unkind as to force them to live outside, are the ones who need the most help.

Sea Turtles do not have the luxury of burrowing in mud and hibernating, as do their fresh water cousins, when temperatures plumet. Instead, they are at the mercy of the weather, and they actually pass out in shock from the cold, float, or are deposited on the shore, where, when things are just right, they are found by kindly humans and reported to rescue agencies.

See below for rescue contact info.

Naturally, though unseen, we Mers stay underneath and keep Sea Turtles afloat, pushing them gently toward human rescuers so they can be taken to warm places when the water gets too cold, but even we can't be everywhere!

And how to Mers manage to be in cold or hot waters? We, being cold-blooded as are all fish, have a body chemistry that allows for comfortable temperature tolerance, unlike the Sea Turtles and many other beings.

Please read about Sea Turles at the links below, and learn more about these wonderful companions of ours!

And please do what you can, even if it's just praying with a positive attitude and sending your spiritual, soul energy to the Sea Turtles and to all beings who need help especially in this season.

(I personally pray many times every day for God to send help and protection to every being on our fragile, young Planet, Sea, and especially for the most helpless of all - the ones many cruel humans keep confined in unfathomably torturous conditions and raise for meat, which to all of us Mermaids and Mermen and to any compassionate human is only cannibalism.

Please pray for the farm - actually "farmed" animals. A terrible term for a terrible sin against God's innocent, helpless beings.)

Great Info on Sea Turtles.

No More Meat! World Day For The Abolition of Meat ! January 31, 2010 !!!

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:14:00 +0000

NoMoreMeat.org

Mark this day and start planning your own area activities and events now!

This is so marvelous ! All The Mers are so into being compassionate to all beings!

Of course, we're vegan too! We love all other animals, so what else could we be?

What about you?

Have you decided yet that Love means Compassion?

And that Compassion is for all living beings?

That all living beings feel, think, love, aspire, and dream, just like you do?

Yes, we're all alike, so let's get healthy, live longer, look great, and stay youthful and lithe, slender, and agile ! How? By being vegan, of course!

Vegans live at least ten years longer than others, and they look much younger, too.

These hip European groups are doing the right thing for all of us, including all humans and all Mers, and all other beings, for the planet itself, for the air, the water, and everything!

Why? Because the horribly cruel meat "industry", (organized cruelty on an unprecedentedly unconscienable level for profit only, since meat is killing humans, making them ill, and shortening their lives ), is also the worst polluter in the world!

Yes, the meat industry pollutes the air and water worse than any other polluter!!!

And even those who eat meat expect that the innocent animals involved will be raised and treated with humane laws and kindness and slaughtered humanely. I wish this was what actually went on. Any kind person will want to add their voices to petitions that aid in bettering their lives and means of death. Visit DActivist for more.

And when we do good, we feel good! Maybe for the first time in your life, when you go vegan, your mind, your beliefs and your soul will be in alignment, in harmony. Being spiritual is being compassionate. Compassion is the basis of all world religions, after all, and our bodies were meant to eat plant foods. Visit Go Veg for more on this.

So give your soul a gift and visit No More Meat, get some of their materials and start your own local event now for January 31, 2010, and let's start this new year right!

A Blue Moon? We Weren’t Blue At All and Neither Was The Moon!

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 00:48:00 +0000

You humans are so funny with your constant comparisons, weighings, judgements, and compartmentalizing!

And blue? It was lovely and golden!

Don’t you get tired of always thinking?

We Mers enjoy life far more than you seem to, and this Wintry day you have deemed your “New Year’s Eve” is no different to us than any other day, but for the fact that we deplore our noisy use of fireworks - we instead adore the stars and the heavenly sky. They are so marvelously beautiful on their own! No adornments, no other distractions needed.

We Mers eschew calenders, weights, measures, and other stupidities that only minimize your existence.

Is it your constant need to feel in control that drives your silly attempts at owning Nature?

No wonder you humans have such a need to dilute your days and nights with stimulants and alcohol!

What a waste!

Don’t you know that life is brief?

And so, so very precious?

And so, under the gorgeous full moon, we’ve stayed far from shore and your noise that frightens fish and ruins the sleep of all other animals including the humans who merely had wished to sleep through the cold night, and we’ve had a wonderful time, just living and loving under the very full moon.

Try being natural some time - you’ll love it!

Winter Solstice

noreply@blogger.com (Ocean) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:19:00 +0000

It's now, today, December 21st, the last day of Autumn, and at midnight, it will become the first day of Winter.

The shortest day of the year, today, earlier, seemed like it to me, the daylight angling through the water straight down, then twisted around, then mirrored, then shooting out in sheets, as usual, but not quite enough of it, it felt.

Not enough light.

I prefer to haunt the Southern Hemisphere this time of year, to enjoy their opposite seasons, but I find myself here in the Northern one for awhile, yearning for the Sun.

Some things have occurred lately to remind me of the ever present, ongoingness of time, and of continuous change. I've lost someone dear to me. And in the losing, I've been immersed in memories of the past, of a past that, although Mers do not age nearly as much as do land beings, like humans, cannot be repeated.

We, too, are finite organisms.

Unlike humans, we Mers accept the way Nature made us, and do not, nor would we, have scientists whose aim is to find ways either to extend life or to disguise age.

Individuals are all so very unique - and so very irreplaceable, and unforgettable.

I find, as do so many souls in this time of year, when holidays loom and joviality mingles with regret and when we so richly mourn the ones who used to spend them with us, and now cannot, that this otherwise joyous time is rather melancholy.

So much more so now, though, since one I had loved has left this plane.

Spirituality extends throughout the animal kingdom - oh, yes, it is by no means only humans who are spiritual - all beings, great and small, have thoughts and feelings of God - and only the Presence can assuage such sadness.

Send some love to everyone around you, strangers included, since sorrow is perhaps more a sign of this season than is joy, for most...
