Home can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Sea turtles have a deep meaning in my family culture. My family is from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. I grew up sitting on the sand watching sea turtles hatch and venture out to the ocean. Along with the marine biologists my brothers and I would sit on the banks making sure tourists didn't interfere with their migration into the ocean. Sea turtles have a rigorous journey. They must dig themselves from their sand nest, evade predators, and fight the waves as they make their way to other sea turtles in the parlous ocean. It's a hard journey but it's filled with beauty and resilience. This piece is a reminder that life might be hard but it's also filled with beauty and moments that build resilience in life.
