Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we can make a difference in the world. Without words or the need to explain yourself to anyone this starfish is that perfect reminder. One of my favorite stories is the Legend of the Starfish.
Here's my version:
As I walked down the beach littered with starfish, I watched people gathering them up to take them home and preserve them. Farther down, I noticed a child, stop, bend, and then fling a starfish back into the sea. I paused and watched. Then I said, "You can't possibly make a difference.” As the child flung another one into the sea, she replied, “I made a difference for that one.” Stop, bend, fling. “And that one.” I smiled and turned back the way I had come. As I walked, I stopped, I bent, and I flung a starfish back into the sea. “And this one,” I whispered as I continued to stop, bend and fling.
