We just returned from a vacation to Hawaii, our last family fling before one of our sons serves a mission for the LDS church. Before we left that beautiful tropical island (sigh), we had a family night where we asked one question: “What meaningful thing did you experience on this vacation?”
Out of the wonderful responses, it was my eleven-year-old’s that really struck me. She is savvy and funny, with Cindy-Lou-Who lashes and a nature-loving spirit. She shared the following as best as I can quote it.
“When we went snorkeling, I noticed the fish. They all shared the ocean, and nicely. They’d pass each other and weren’t rude to each other. They would eat at the same rock and didn’t say, You can’t sit here. Sometimes I see people at school who won’t let someone sit at their table because they think they’re a freak, or not their kind. But the fish didn’t act that way. They knew they were all fish, and shared the water, and let them eat and swim and be happy, just being fish.”
Wow.
