Thank you for sharing your love story of seastars and our earth. An image I wish to share: I felt fortunate to witness hundreds of healthy seastars during an extreme low tide. I captured a photo of my hand fingers spread next to a red seastar larger than my own hand. My pointer finger just next to it, not touching, but nearly. I saw a man crying, he shared his gratitude the seastars had recovered at least somewhat from their virus. Thank you for so poignantly and poetically addressing grief and the need to connect left and right brain together so we can lean in, grieve, not turn away and then take loving action. I will carry this forward in my Storytelling work, I'm working on a piece about my 2 months this summer in Alaska. I'm hoping to share my experiences in nature in exactly the way you've described, by calling in with love & grieving so we might lean in and towards. Thank you again.
