Peyton List Instagram – regram •@intersectionalenvironmentalist so beautifully said I keep listening to this on repeat. my favorite line • “Water makes up 70% of Earth. 70% of the human heart, And 70% of the human being, All of us, bodies of water, For we, too are oceans, Or at least beings bobbing in the same boat.” “A portal that connects us all @amandascgorman’s beautiful Ode to our Ocean 🌾💌🐳 Happy World Oceans Day 💖👼🏽🔱” “The sea sings out to its many saviors: teenagers with fists thrust in the air Scientists converging around their data, A child who stoops to scoop up a piece of trash. The sea sings out for its singular subjects: Turtles that teeter down Coral reefs shining brightly The sea sings out its suffering, screeching sounds its depths bruised by Atrocities in the Atlantic Misery in the Mediterranean, Its tides the preservers of time past. The story of the ocean and the story of humanity Are one and the same, a Great River that Knows no borders and notes no lines, Only ripples. While we might call it the Seven Seas, Today we sing out your true name: The one ocean. For no matter how we try to separate your waters, You are the colossus that connects us. Water makes up 70% of Earth. 70% of the human heart, And 70% of the human being, All of us, bodies of water, For we, too are oceans, Or at least beings bobbing in the same boat. To stand up for our own ocean Is to stand up for our own ship The sea is a restless, strong collective of many pieces. So are we. The ocean can recover. So will we. Let us not divide the tides, But discover all they have to teach us— Green meadows of sea grass that survive pathogens, Blue-bloodied marine snails that can fight off viruses There are more lessons to learn, Still more work to be done. So we lift our faces to the sun May the seas help us see healing and hope, May we sing out the ocean’s survival and revival. Being the people of this blue planet is our most Profound privilege and power, For if we be the ocean’s saviors then it is surely ours.” 🌂 via @futureearth ☂️ made in collaboration with @atmos @lonelywhale + @ecblackman #WorldOceansDay #IE #IntersectionalEnvironmentalist #Intersectional
