I always love reading about the connections you notice, and am so grateful that you share these thoughts with us. Salmon (and nature in general) are so inspiring.
Last night I talked with someone who had nearly died only a few hours earlier. This person had only hours earlier survived a near accident and simply needed to just talk about it. As a vibrant young person, the thought that life had nearly ended was overwhelming; a new appreciation for life with family was cherished in a new way. Just hearing this individual process and share left me with a sense of awe.
We recognize that we likely can die any particular day. But when it faces us full in the face, that's a completely different story. I appreciate that this person recognized the importance of talking with someone - because rather than hold onto the awfulness and sense of being angered by the situation and being terrified of what's next, they simply shared. And simply being there for others is an awesome opportunity.
Once again, thanks so much for sharing your observations, thoughts, perspectives in such a riveting writing style. Your words are powerful and always leave me thinking and learning. I am so grateful to be a recipient of your gifts and work.
