Every person has a reason for caring about what matters to them. I care about the planet for a lot of reasons, but to be honest, it comes down to something far more important to me than my major or a subject I'm good at. It goes far beyond just the school. My sacred space is the reason for delving into this journey. I care because I don't want to see places like this, my favorite place in the world, disappear. This place helps me see the beauty in the world, let's me reflect, and helps me remember how to love. This place is my reason to care about everything else. I've seen the most beautiful birds, bugs, and plants.. I've seen the most beautiful rocks and the felt the chilling water of the Brule River rushing around my feet and between my toes. This place is what I see as people talk about habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, pollution, and the rest of the scary things that threaten our world.
I think sometimes it helps to go back to the beginning.. to know what started it all. This is what fuels my fire and feeds my oyster fishery? Yeah... that was pretty awful. This place.. is my oyster. Forget it. this place is what makes me want to protect our Earth. There's only one "May's Ledges" and there's only one Earth.
