Sea Turtles

Sea Turtles

My favorite ocean creatures are sea turtles. I have observed loggerheads, hawksbills, and green turtles while diving and their slow-moving grace always fills me with awe.

While the plight of all marine creatures concerns me, it is the image of sea turtles swimming in oil-slicked waters that fills me with sadness and causes me to feel helpless with the mega flow of crude into the Gulf of Mexico.

The only thing I know to do is to stay with my feelings and write so that we don’t allow this issue to be pushed to the bottom of the media’s priority list. This is an ongoing lesson as it is an ongoing catastrophe.
