I wrote this a while back whilst working with a previous turtle project:
There it was, 3am sitting on a beach waiting for a turtle to lay her eggs, the waves crashing in the surf. I was at peace, there were no sounds but the ocean. I took this time to reflect on how fortunate I am to be doing what I am. Sitting in silence with an endangered species making a feeble attempt to continue her species, without her knowing how dire their situation is. I hope many others have this opportunity to do things they want to be doing, things that make you feel you are making an actual difference in this anonymous life.

p.s. that is so amazing that you are going to the carribean to do work like that. i've always wanted the opportunity for that sort of thing. is this your profession?
p.s. i love that little blurb. it made me feel comfortable and at peace.
