Excerpt from the Award Winning Book, TOUCH THE OCEAN: THE POWER OF OUR COLLECTIVE EMOTIONS
[978-0-9792805-0-4] $19.95

     "It was a crappy day and overcast. I went for a swim and there was too much Sargasso seaweed to move my arms. The sick brown seaweed was getting in my hair and under my legs and ankles. Mixed in the seaweed were plastic bottles and debris with alien bacterium and parasites that had traveled north through the Gulf Stream from the lower Caribbean Islands and South America. I stopped trying to swim. I pulled one bottle out, then another, I pulled and pulled. It was as if the ocean was puking it up. I’d never felt that feeling before when inside of her. I kept pulling and it was as if she kept puking. I took two full arm loads of the stuff across the beach and up to the thick plastic waste basket by the road. And I thought if one person could take away only one plastic bottle each time they visited the ocean it would be a different world.
It can take enormous attention and intention to not judge the ocean on such days, and rather, to see what can be done.

     I’m not writing as an environmentalist. My day job is to work with the inner environment, the inner pollution. The outer pollution will never stop until we address the inner pollution. Taking care of both are random acts of consideration and a kindness to us all. It can take hundreds of years for the ocean to break down a single plastic grocery bag, seconds to pick up one plastic bottle from the beach, a moment for the direction of a life to change, for better or worse. I’m pointing to what is to our advantage to do, what is life affirming, what is life sustaining, not to another dreary course of self improvement or even of land management.

     We are as wild as the ocean, as unpredictable, and in potential, as loving.

     What does the ocean grudge the sky?

      Will you join us on this journey? I consider each reader a guest on a visit to the story waters of this book, and I will do what I can to make your visit pleasant and comfortable, even humorous, for if nothing else, ocean, sky, even the weather can have a sense of humor! Of course, let us never forget the Source that animates all."

OCEANIC HEALTH/WELLNESS

"Recently," I was collecting sea shells on the beach here in South Florida and ended up with as many shells in one hand, as pieces of found plastic in the other hand! Yuck!

For this, first get a bathing suit with a pocket! Or a top! Then go to the Ocean or any body of water, a mountain lake, a stream, a rain-puddle. Any location, local, or anywhere around the world will do.

When you come across a piece of plastic, put it in your POCKET! (Just 1 piece of plastic fine.) When you come across a plastic bottle, take it away for Extra Points! (Just 1 plastic bottle fine)

This way, you will have put a piece of the OCEAN IN YOUR POCKET!


If there are trash cans, make sure they are for recycling. If they are not, the plastic or plastic bottle you will have picked up will go back into the OCEAN! Get it?

Suggestion--Leave a plastic bag, preferred, in your trunk or bike basket. Then drop off your found piece of the OCEAN in your neighborhood recycle bin!

All are welcome, and it's FREE to do this. You are on your own, and with the SEA.

Thank you.

Thank you Christopher Plummer!

(Christopher Plummer GETS IT!)

Architecture contains the dream of history past and a watermark for the future privilege of culture. What is a country, much less a community, without the legacy of its Arts?

What is the unfiltered raw progress of Civilization with its wars and reconstructions without the on-going community of Culture?

To even consider tearing this jewel apart is a travesty--to even think such a thing.  And for a Shopping Mall?

Let's see this jewel as shining and contributing it's brillance and bright luster again.

The Royal Poinciana is the only existing theater in Palm Beach, after the closing of the Paramount, long ago.  The Royal Poinciana is very similar in atmosphere and feel to the GATE Theater in Dublin.

Florida Stage is in Manalapan, the Kravitz Center is in West Palm. The Royal Poinciana is the first theater in the area, the only in the town of Palm Beach, and remains a scintillating jewel of the Treasure Coast.

The community remembers Mr. Plummer as the cunning Iago in Othello there with Kelsey Grammer in the role of Cassio. (Kelsey Grammer graduated from Pine Crest in Ft. Lauderdale)

Frank J. Hale, founder of the Playhouse, knew what he was doing when he had the Playhouse built, and intended it for the community.  The Royal Poinciana was the first stage I ever trod as part of a performance with then Palm Beach High School. Mary Nemec Doremus hosted "Night Life on the Gold Coast" there interviewing celebrities, diplomats and kings -- it was an educational facility.  Mr. Hale is for sure delighted to see his dream and contribution gain support!

TOUCH THE OCEAN: THE POWER OF OUR COLLECTIVE EMOTIONS,  by maverick craniosacral therapist, James Nemec, narrates compelling stories of heart centered presence and ocean healing.  He explores the history of craniosacral, mind altering connections with dolphins, and with our environment.  Upledger Institute certified, Nemec combines science and intuition to heal individuals previously considered beyond help.   The case studies presented explain the curious life-elixir Nemec brews between the ocean, sky, and the energies of our collective conscious.  “Are our bodies oceans in miniature?”  At the end, the author stands the book on its head, challenging us to find out for ourselves.

-Good evening and welcome to the Author Series a the Harvard Coop. With us tonight and reading from his new work, Touch the Ocean, is James Nemec.

-Raised on the ocean in South Florida, Nemec is an esteemed playwright and poet. In addition, after more than fifteen years working as a craniosacral and massage therapist, Nemec is celebrated for his ability to combine science and intuition in order to heal individuals previously considered beyond help.

-His focus is on the curative powers of light touch and the physical presence of our natural world. What Nemec succeeds at conveying, according to surgeon and Ivy League diplomat Roy Nuzzo, is that "the world shapes us. We, in turn, collectively shape the world."

-The case studies presented in Touch the Ocean explain the curious life-elixir Nemec has learned to brew between the ocean, the sky, and the energies of our collective conscious. On behalf of the Harvard Coop, I would sincerely like to thank, and introduce, James Nemec.

Stopping is an exercise presented in TOUCH THE OCEAN: THE POWER OF OUR COLLECTIVE EMOTIONS. Here is a brief excerpt from the chapter entitled, The Simple Feeling of Being in Gratitude:

"The hardest part about stopping, or taking pause, or making an aside, whatever you would like to call it, is in the remembering to do it.

Anyone can do it. Anyone can at least, stop. When clients have asked me how they can slow down and reconnect in the midst of their busy lives, I might suggest they just "stop." I would tend to call it “stopping”. I’ll be entering a Starbucks in a Mall, for example, or walking through a parking garage, or entering a party filled with people I don't know, and I’ll just stop. I try to stand casually as possible so as not to attract attention. Now, I’ve gotten good enough at this tendency to notice the impulse when it arises. I may experience a feeling of discomfort with the jostling people at a Mall, or the Quaaludes' they seem to pump through the air conditioner vents of most Malls so you trance-out and just buy and buy and buy! And so I just let my body stop. When my body stops, when I literally stop in my tracks, or take pause, something happens. There is a silence. It arises unbidden. It is a very safe space. It is a silence that is always here and that is not forced.

This is a very different experience than when we sit in "the moment before."

We can do it while swimming in a pool, lake, or the ocean. I'll try to practice stopping, or just taking a breather, when I go into the Mall, or even into the bank, or grocery store. Let's say there are people around who seem totally unaware of the miracle of just being alive on a planet in the Universe. Rather than react, or put down the people at the Mall, the Bank, the Party, I take a pause, stop, and in stopping, stop the emotional reaction.

Stopping can be useful in personal and interpersonal relationships. For example, one of my older sisters had said something hurtful to me, something about my not being a good son to my Dad. I could feel the emotions churn within me like a storm. There was emotional lightening in that storm, and it was about to lash out. I knew that I could hurt her. I knew that I could turn around her hurtful words and say exactly the same thing about her. I had been a good son, screamed my emotions. I had been the best son that I knew how to be. I could see the pain in her eyes. She instantly regretted what she said because she knew she had hurt me. Then I told her that I loved her and meant it. It shocked both of us!

It's the awareness of what we are doing that makes the shift. When I'm caught in reacting, there is little I can actually do.

When aware, something happens. This is far beyond any insistence on positive or even negative thinking. This is to shine a light.

It’s human nature to react with emotion, and lots of it, often violent emotions, when our small feelings are hurt, it’s not human nature to stop. It takes some practice, some conscious-awareness. When I do this, I may have the opportunity of observing the thoughts, the odd logic, the raw unfiltered emotions going through me. And because I have stopped, just for a moment or two, then, and only then, response. And a response that is totally spontaneous, creative, life giving and alive. I may even discover that I was really the one being ungrateful in that moment of entering the Mall, not them, not the nameless faces. Not that there are any "rules" about being grateful, or even cheerful, it's more an attitude toward living.

I could write a book or pamphlet on just this. It was something my body would do, like a horse when faced with a freeway. There’s that moment when things get confused, that moment of reaction, why not take a pause? Breathe? The reader may find examples in her or his own life. It’s best to start with public places, for example, just when walking down a sidewalk. Simply stop."

Stopping? Why not check it out for yourself?  After all, couldn't hurt.  It could actually be fun!
