• LIFE RELEASE is really RESPONDING to that CALL of another being in DANGER and being able to do something about it
• ALL THINGS FEEL

As Part Two of this story unfolds, we discover the fantastical how this Lobsterbird landed on her spiritual path. On the heels of completing the Shikoku Pilgrimage, and having read “A Tale for the Time Being” by Ruth Ozeki, Sophia returned to a life that was fundamentally and dramatically changed. She was seriously considering moving into a monastery and becoming a nun. “A Wrinkle in Time” lands her instead in Maine, risking life and limb to release trapped lobsters back into the wild... Leave us a Rating & Review!

Your Travelogue

• I’m in a car with a family i just met, traveling via tesseract, to Maine for a couple days to release lobsters.  [1:29]
• How does one know whether to devote one’s existence solely to the study of Buddhism or to find ways to study while pursuing a life consistent with the one a person is already living? [4:15]
• “Do you know what you are doing??? You are going to Maine. This is the heart of lobster country. It is legal for people to be shot for stealing from someone’s lobster trap. Shot! And the law says that’s okay! It’s like you are going into Iraq and opening up oil valves and letting it drain all over the place.” [8:08]
• Gérard de Nerval is a Parisian famously known for liberating Thibault the lobster and taking him for guided walks in the gardens of the Palais-Royal. [9:09]
• If you permit yourself to think that lobsters can suffer and would rather not, the Maine Lobster Festival can begin to take on aspects of something like a Roman circus or medieval torture-fest. [10:36]
• The lobster study that shifted how scientists view the architecture and function of all neural circuits, including those in humans. [12:55]
• The actual steps to lobster release are incredibly simple and profound… Sometimes the lobsters do this amazing thing where they spread their “arms” really wide as if they are free-falling into a place of ecstatic freedom. [15:10]
• “I was no longer this person who felt in need of saving, but rather, a part of something much larger. It was through the act of liberating others that i found a new sense of freedom.” [17:11]
• Tapped into an entire ocean of Being. [19:19]
• All things feel. [20:40]
