Beautiful post, Ila. The way you pay attention to the small, humble and extraordinary gifts of the world are a lovely tribute to your favourite poet ❤️
You had me when you quoted Mary Oliver at the start. And then to think such experiences are in Goa - I am someone who gets bored in beach places. Now you have told me that there is something for me too. Thank you for this piece which is full of surprises like the tidepools themselves.
Loved it. Both the writing and the topic! Added to the Goa list of things to do. Reading this reminded me of reading Gerald Durrel and the fascination I felt.
i'm going to pay more attention to the tidepools now. thanks for writing this, ila <3
yay! Goa is a treasure trove of tidepools :)
Such an amazing ecosystem! I did not know they are called Tidepools 😊
Had a similar experience at the Havelock Bridge, Andaman. Thx Ila!
Tidepools at Havelock must've been amazing! Thanks for reading :)

Thanks Ayush! So happy to hear I was able to recreate some of the fascination I felt discovering all these creatures in tide pools :)
