Jessica Simpson- Nature Experience

Today was beautiful, a few friends and me decided to visit the Pfac up the road to view some art, but when we arrived it was closed so employees could hang a new exhibit. Disappointed by the closing, and impressed the stunning change of weather from this morning we went to Lion’s Gate beach to sit on the sand and warm our toes. I forgot how good it feels to free your mind and relax, we sat on a slab of cement and listened to the wind and water as it crashed up against the stone. The longer we sat there the more my mind wandered from the stresses of school and work and the when I faintly heard the slap of a fish out of water, I peered over the edge of the cement slab and there was a fish, about eight inches long, it was the largest fish I had ever seen in the wild. After the awe affect wore off, I jumped into action, “ save the fish!” I yelled to my good friend who was lying next to me soaking in the afternoon sun. He leapt to his feet and grasped the fish with both hands hurling it back into the water, back into life. I was relieved. We look around and see four more fishes flopping around on the sand attempting to find the sweet release of h2o. Again my friend sprang into action, one by one plopping each fish back into the water, and although there were birds looming nearby scoping out the water for their dinner, it was satisfying knowing a life was saved if only for a moment. It was sublime.
