The Blue Pearl

When I was a child I did a book report on the Black Pearl about a Giant Manta Ray protecting a valuable Giant Black Pearl in the Bay. Flash forward 20 years and I found myself Diving for Flame Scallops in the Florida Keys, when a Shadow of a Giant Manta Ray moved over the top of me as to protect the Scallops themselves. Now doing a book report on my own story in the year of perfect vision and hindsight of the complete picture puzzle that would be my life, I’ve come to realize the Blue Pearl of Life…Is the treasure, Not the Pearl inside.
