Memorial Day Reflection: Even in the Ocean, Sacrifice Runs Deep. 🐙
As a veteran, today I will be honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives as they served with selflessness and dedication. While we honor them, let’s take a moment to reflect how the natural world, too, is filled with quiet acts of selflessness.
Take the female octopus, for instance. After laying thousands of eggs, she becomes a full-time guardian. She doesn’t eat. She doesn’t leave. She devotes every last moment of her life to protecting the next generation, gently cleaning the eggs, fanning them with water, and defending them from predators. She gives everything, and when the hatchlings emerge, her job is done. She passes on, having ensured the future of her kind.
It’s one of nature’s most poignant reminders of devotion and sacrifice.
Today, as we remember and honor the heroes who gave their all for our freedom, let’s also reflect on the many ways courage and sacrifice echo throughout life, on land, in the sea, and in every act of love and duty.
We remember. We honor. We thank you!🐙
