WHEN THE OLD sea dries up, the Old Mermaids find themselves washed up on the newnbsp;desert. These tales of the Old Mermaids remind us of the beauty all around us,nbsp;even on those days when we wonder how we'll survive, let alone thrive. Sister Ruby Rosaritanbsp;Mermaid brews a magical storytelling soup to bring peace. A mysterious stranger brings thenbsp;Old Mermaids an elixir to heal all. And then there's the Tea Shell, where the Old Mermaidsnbsp;serve the most marvelous teas, and Sister Sophia Mermaid dispenses bits of wisdom like,nbsp;"Never try to stop a wave," "A watched pot eventually boils," and "This is not the end of thenbsp;world, it just feels like it." The Old Mermaids support one another, love their new world, andnbsp;build community with all their new human and nonhuman neighbors. You can be assurednbsp;when you stop by the Tea Shell for a cup of Essence of Coyote Laughter Tea that no coyotesnbsp;were harmed in the making of your brew.
