“Many of us ask what can I, as one person, do,
but history shows us that everything
good and bad starts because somebody does something
or does not do something.”

                                                   Sylvia Earle, Oceanographer

 

the ocean is the environment to many systems of life.
the earth system includes the oceans.
humanity is within the earth system.

the history of the ocean being a dumping ground: out of sight, out of mind,
is now contemporary stupidity.

mistakes are synonymous with learning.

“You never change things
by fighting against the existing reality.
To change something,
build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.”

Buckminster Fuller

i am a creature of planet earth
made up of 70% water, just like planet earth

really, you just have to contemplate that when you wonder the purpose of being here.
who, what am i ?
how do i belong?
