A few days ago, it was World Oceans Day.
Countless images were shared. Beautiful words were written. Promises were made. And yet, every day, the ocean continues to be exploited through overfishing, pollution and a way of living that often takes more than it gives back.
Sometimes I wonder if the ocean really needs more people claiming they want to save it. Maybe what it needs instead are more people remembering that we are all a part of it.
We all come from the ocean. Long before there were forests, cities or human beings, there was the sea. Every drop flowing through our bodies today has been part of clouds, rivers and oceans countless times before, and one day it will find its way back again.
The ocean gives us food, oxygen, waves, rain and life itself. It doesn't need heroes. It needs people willing to listen.
Grateful for every wave, every breath and every drop of life it continues to give.
Mahalo ke kai.
