Not really... I knew it was earth day a few days ago, but was all wrapped up in the excitement of Aveleen's arrival to the earth

But tonight I went and saw the movie "Oceans"... Disney's earth day movie this year. It was good. It was beautiful. I love the ocean. i love the creatures in the ocean. I love the smell of the ocean, the sound of it, the power of it, the immensity of it, its mystery.... I love just staring at it whether it is a calm sea or a stormy one. And I marvel at the crazy and beautiful living things that live in it. I wish we weren't polluting it.
As i was watching it a funny random thought struck me. There was this beautiful little creature called a leafy sea dragon (a type of seahorse).
These tiny sea horses live their whole lives in the same small area never leaving that space and not even changing their depth... if they do, they will die.
Then there is the Humpback whale... who in a lifetime travels thousands of miles... some going from Alaska to Hawaii in a year's feeding/breading/birthing cycle... they are world travelers and they have to do it to survive.
How different these 2 sea creatures are. One tiny, one gigantic, one surviving on their lives and environment NOT changing and the other thriving and surviving on change and being adaptable and adventurous.
People are like that. There are so many different personalities in the world. Some could not survive being away from the place where they were born and raised and can't imagine a world outside their own protected lives... and others thrive on change and need to venture out in the world to find out what they are made of and what they can do in the world.
The sea horse is beautiful and has its purpose... and is happy in its existence...... And the Humpback may not be as lovely to look at, I suppose, but the Humpback SINGS and BREACHES.....
Why? Because it CAN!!!
The path it chooses is more dangerous but the Humpback sees the world... point A to point B and everything in between. I think I would rather be the Humpback......
"I saw a man on the side of the road,
With a sign that read 'will work for food'.
Tried to look busy, 'til the light turned green.
Now I saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning,
‘Cause their homes were turning to water.
A strange, kinda sad, big old bear,
Surely would happily eat me.
He'd tear me to pieces, that bear.
Wake up sleepy head,
I think the sun's a little brighter today.
Smile, and watch the icicles melt away, and see the water rising,
Summer's here to stay, and all those summer games will last forever.
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.
Tell me everything will be okay if I just stay on my knees and keep praying.
Believing in something,
Tell me everything is all taken care of,
By those qualified to take care of it all.
One day, do you think we'll wake up in a world on its way to getting better?
And if so can you tell me,
How?
I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing,
The tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting.
Though we would like to believe we are, we are not in control,
Though we would love to believe.
Wake up sleepy head,
I think the sun's a little brighter today.
Smile, and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising,
Summer's here to stay, and those sweet summer girls will dance forever.
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean."
