forgetting fear and feeling free Janet Kuypers 10/9/16 Standing in the water maybe twenty meters from the shoreline I saw one Sea Lion facing off with another Sea Lion on the beach. In an effort to say that they were the beach master, one started to chase the other into the water, to kick them off their domain. Now, a Sea Lion can get up to seven feet long, and when one male started chasing the other into the water, these giant animals were barreling straight toward me. But no, I wasn’t scared, they weren’t after me, so I stood perfectly still as one splashed past me to my left, and the other splashed past me to my right. I think a few people at the beach were scared for me, but I was fine, and went into the water and swam toward the row of sleeping white tipped sharks along the ocean floor. I counted more than two dozen, and was stunned how perfectly these sharks remain so straight in a row when they slept. So after seeing the sea, I swam back to shore and turned my eye to the sky. The Frigate birds would swarm us humans hoping for leftover food, but I photographed flying finches, and watched Nasca birds, both male and female, keeping their eggs warm before they would hatch. It’s nice to see when looking at creatures not like you and me, that we can see that they may not be as scary as can be, but, like you and me, they are just living to be free. And when you look closely, that is really nice to see. |
