Hi everyone,
I've just come across this inspiring article about divers swimming down to a shark that had a hook caught in its mouth and removing it. Golly, I so respect people's unselfishness, commitment and courage!

[COLOR="DarkGreen"]My prayer on that dive, 55 feet down, wasn’t words as much as it was a sense of assurance that “it was good” applies to all of God’s creation. So, as we approached the shark, any negative thoughts, such as that sharks aren’t very smart, or are unpredictable and dangerous, quickly faded. We made eye contact, and I slowly drew up close. The shark was docile. I sensed fear being replaced with a mutual understanding and love. I felt it knew we were there to help.
Reading it reminded me of these words of Mary Baker Eddy:

Love and peace

Thats so amazing and humbling!
An amazing story Judy. Thank you for sharing it. I'm sure shark will be eternally grateful for the help it received.
Hi Clarice and Caroline,
Thanks for your comments.
An amazing story Judy. Thank you for sharing it. I'm sure shark will be eternally grateful for the help it received.
I hope he'll remember it if he ever comes across a human again! 😀
One of Daphne Sheldrick's former elephant orphans who had been returned to the wild, put herself between a charging bull elephant and some walking humans. It's wonderful when there's this recognition of how we are all one (on both sides!)
