Lobsters, and other great natural philosophers
In that time, they have seen it all come and go, and much more than what comes and goes, what changes. In this presentation you will learn the great life lesson of lobsters and other natural creatures.
You will be reminded that what we think is stressful, meaningless or expensive are just mind made temporary problems, and that what we really are is…eternal.
The presentation will include dramatized and acted conversations between the eternal and the fleeting, and between a human and a lobster.
