Rest. I can’t believe how you’ve carried us through this terrible time.

Spoiling yourself with an early bedtime should not be viewed as a defeat, rather, it is a victory for your spirit because it knows that you need to rest and recharge {{hugs}}

I hope that you have a chance to watch My Octopus Teacher. It's the kind of film that is good for your soul.

I don’t have the best of memory but “My Octopus Teacher” was easily the best entertainment that I have experienced this year. It truly deserves a place in any consumer of visual arts’ Hall of fame . It was entertaining, uplifting, educational, family oriented, and it had the most gorgeous visuals. Watching this documentary of a man rediscovering himself was the penultimate media experience! in case you hadn’t noticed highly recommended.

Rest well. Always look forward to the photos...I think publishing all the photos to a website that you have shared throughout this journey would be really cool. Photos from an American. I wish all of us could contribute one as well...a kind of tapestry of America as seen through all our eyes. Hanging sap buckets tomorrow...

Heather, we're always willing to wait for your wonderful Letters. Take a break - we'll still be here once you've rested, waiting to see what insights you've gathered. Thanks again to Buddy. The melting ice and beautiful light illustrate the hope we've been daring to begin to feel after these dark years.

You sure deserve a rest. But do try to watch My Octopus Teacher when you’ve got more juice — it’s indescribably great. xox

You should give My Octopus Teacher another go when you're less sleepy. Great film. Demonstrates that all life has dignity (with the exception of Republicans, that is).

Although it was beautiful, I also slept through much of My Octopus Teacher. Glad to be in such good company.

My Octopus Teacher is gorgeous and meditative. Watch when you’re not tired or the pace will put you to sleep.

Please thank Buddy and tell him that as someone who spent 30 years photographing motion pictures, I think that he has a very good eye, and that I have enjoyed every one of the photos that you have posted. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’m not the only one who keeps falling asleep? Maybe a final reaction to years of tension?
