When I remembered seeing the gargantuan ray emerge from the small silver fish, it made me contemplate if we are all of a single consciousness. Not only that but suddenly, I was left questioning how it was possible that all animals are related and the circumstances of Steve Irwin’s death.
I contemplated single consciousness in how the fish in the bait ball although they were all separate entities could move as one. Their swimming to and fro looked as though they were all connected by strings and could not move without the others consent. I did not see any signs that they were communicating which made me wonder if it was possible that they were of a collective consciousness
In the moment that I saw the ray I felt so small and tiny compared to its awesome power. How could something with grey dragon hide skin, wings, and a barbed tale possible have come from the same thing that I did. It made me feel so out of place in the water; in just one glance it told me that I did not belong there in the same area as it.
Looking back I thought of how Steve Irwin died because he was impaled by the sting rays barb. Despite how much I feared that the sting ray would eat me when I was young I realize now that they are gentle creatures. I have now seen dozens of sting rays larger than that and they have not cared whatsoever that I was in the water near them. I the fear that I felt when I was 5 was just because I was young. Steve Irwin's death was still a reminder to me that while usually you need not be afraid of rays you should always be careful around wild animals.
