Cristina Zenato Instagram – “Imagine you are in a completely dark room; what will you do? – Stop imagining” it’s the cute joke by a six-year-old I hear while we sit at the table.
“Stop imagining.” I cannot get the punchline out of my head.
How perfect when placed in a sentence about sharks, what we imagine they are, and how they behave compared to the facts and reality.
“Stop imagining”
How the sound of the word “shark” evokes only certain species and fear-fueled information.
Stop
Instead, let’s open our minds to the over 500 species of sharks, their span in size and behavior, their acceptance of our presence in their territory, the rarity of a negative encounter, and the timeless beauty of the more numerous positive ones.
Imagine their beauty, their presence as a blessing to the health of the oceans and as a consequence to us.
Imagine a different fate for sharks.
