“Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said,
"It made a difference for that one.”

“Ésta es mi <>: aunque te separen, aunque a simple vista seas un ser independiente de los demás, con movimientos y decisiones, en apariencia diferentes; aunque nos odiemos o nos matemos, aunque miremos al otro lado para no ayudar a quien nos necesita; aunque lloremos a nuestros supuestos muertos y no podamos verlos, somos, inevitablemente, un solo ser. Y hagamos lo que hagamos, nunca nada ni nadie será capaz de separarnos.”

“Las antiguas culturas de América consideraban que todos los seres de la creación eran portadores de una enseñanza o medicina sagrada, que cada uno de ellos era parte significativa e insustituible del Gran Círculo de la Vida y que, por tanto, en el camino hacia la plena realización de nuestro Ser nosotros, el pueblo de los <>, debíamos prestar mucha atención a sus formas de vida para poder captar el mensaje dejado por el Gran Espíritu en cada una de sus criaturas.”
