Stingray Migration Gulf of Mexico: Thousands of Golden Sting Rays are seen here gathering off the coast of Mexico. The scene was captured as the magnificent creatures made one of their biannual mass migrations to more agreeable waters.

Gliding silently beneath the waves, they turned vast areas of blue water to gold off the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula. Sandra Critelli, an amateur photographer, stumbled across the phenomenon while looking for whale sharks.

For me, these photos serve as a giant Rorschach test. I not only see stingrays, in all their wild magnificence, but I see pages and pages of manuscripts just under the surface of the unconscious finding their way to writers everywhere, a mass migration of creativity and new ideas traveling to search out agreeable agents, publishers and readers. Our job, as writers, poets, playwrights, et al, is to honor our “wild” creations and the wildly creative side of ourselves.

What do you think of this stingray migration off the Gulf of Mexico? I’d love to hear from you!
