I'm grateful I've learned how to tap into spite as one of the deepest wells of motivation to better things, both healing inside, and wanting to make a better place for the people around me. I'm especially grateful it has not turned me into a cynic. It makes me love harder.

Like sand from the Sahara feeds the Amazon, how minerals from the sea that salmon carry upstream to feed the redwoods; I too am like an enriched forest, built from the particles of experiences and nutrients of what I have absorbed, deconstructed, and built into my own ecosystem within myself.

Holy moly this is the coolest thing! It's a saltwater farm, wetland restoration, and an aquatic park! This is a fabulous idea to use the technology and plants we have available to find new ways to adapt to salinating water resources!
