modified image from Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends picturing two children peering over a ledge with a sign that says "Edge". Underneath them is the ocean with stands of tall seaweed and fish and urchin. Superimposed on this is a poem which reads: Beyond the Sidewalk End After Shel Silverstein There is a beyond past the sidewalk end And over the ocean’s blue, and there whales remind us that we are kin and there salmon embrace dialectics within and there copepods will always spin from eater to eaten anew Let us leave the “us versus them” diatribe And the spiral of downward trend Beyond the infringement of anyone’s rights we will find in the wild a life that unites and revel in diversity that only excites as it blossoms beyond the sidewalk’s end Yes, we’ll find in the wild a life that unites and revel in diversity that only excites or the world, it is precious, and the sea, it invites far beyond, yes beyond where the sidewalk ends
Sometimes we need to go further than our fore-bearers. #poetry #ecology #ocean #marinebiology #hope #shelsilverstein
