“loon” means “salt”

amt'aa - loon

i don't know if this is the actual etymology, but the sm'algya̱x word for loon seems to break down into "aam" (good) and "t'aa" (sit), which to me invokes the way they sit calmly on the water. i've been having a lot of gastro health issues the past few years; during the lowest point of it so far a couple months ago, i sketched this. i'm jealous of that kind of tranquility that the loon embodies, the peace of being able to partake in eating joyfully, hence the fish swimming in its abdominal area.

i finally had my gallbladder out last week which might not cure me completely but should solve a significant problem, at least. i hope i get to experience synchronicity with myself, my body, and the things i love to indulge in again soon
