Today is World Oceans Day. This was taken during a drift ice dive in Shiretoko, Hokkaido, Japan.
The ocean has never needed us to rescue it. It was here long before us and, frankly, it will outlast us, and it will heal. What it needs is for us to stop pretending we are separate from it, to not have to reimagine what the ocean could be but to reimagine how we show up and what new stories we can tell.
