I like the Green Sea Turtle.  Yesterday, I met my first Green Sea Turtle.  We were swimming in the same little nook in this big Pacific Ocean.

The Sea Turtle swam beautifully, gracefully.  I watched in amazement.  In awe.  Dumbfounded.

The turtle chuckled and kept on swimming.  Then it ambled out of the water…. went to the beach….  and took in some sun.  I watched in amazement.

I am forever changed by this.  There is something about being in the same place as such a superb creature… this turtle being.

You see.  They are endangered.  We humans need to give them plenty of space.  I swam away from its area… for there’s all sorts of water available in the Pacific.

And when I saw her on the beach later… I gave her plenty of space.  Let’s thank the camera gods for long lenses.

And then.

Tonight, we humans went out to a Luau.  We were happy humans.  Very happy…

Nine out of  ten people are happier as a result of swimming with Green Sea Turtles.  I know we were.
