The talk of biodiversity making a community stronger. As well as the ability of seeing God's character through his creations (animals and places ) is such a cool way to think about all this. I wish I had bought the physical book to make notes.

This chapter brought kitsurgi and Beta fish together in a beautiful image healing and growth. Once again I'm crying over fish.

Not me ugly crying at work about trust and fear. The buddy breathing exercise is all the things I would be afraid of. Complete trust in someone else to help you out of the darkness and helping you rise and be able to breathe. Its something fundamental and something im still learning but damn this book is really calling me out and making me learn in the best way possible.

Its always interesting talking about the vastness and unknown of space as well as the deep ocean floor. Having her talking about the view point of awe and the fear of her friend at the expanse of unknown is something I've experienced before. Its really nice to get different perspectives on views we get to experience. I love when I get to do that.I just want to marvel at all of unknown and known.

So this so beautifully described as she goes into detail about the science of corals as well as the grace of god. I cried about a fish so im in for a ride.
