By now we have all been exposed to pictures and maps giving us a macro level view of the horrific extent of this disaster which, unfortunately, has not reached its full potential. I force myself to look and read in order to respect the people that are there, working hard to stop the leak, protect our coastlines, rescue animals and clear out the carcasses of dead animals, which are just a few of the ways in which people are showing up to help out in this situation. I saw something today that really had an impact on me and put this in true scale for me. It was this picture of
Greenpeace Senior Campaigner Lindsey Allen trying to save a crab no larger than a quarter from death by oil, however that would happen to a crab. One picture of the tiniest creature, made me realize, more than any satellite map, just how massive this catastrophe is, and equally, just how large the hearts of humans can be. I hope has the same affect on you.
