A TRUE HERO.

“The date was August 8, 1982. The Red Sox were playing an afternoon game at Boston’s Fenway Park. Suddenly a screaming foul ball whizzed past the first base dugout and Red Sox left fielder Jim Rice heard the unmistakable sound of ball striking flesh. Looking around the corner of the dugout into the stands Rice saw 4 year old Jonathan Keane bleeding profusely from his head. Realizing in a split second that it would take several minutes for park EMT’s to get to the scene, the future Hall of Famer sprang into action. Rice leaped over the railing into the stands, cradled the young fan into his arms and carried the boy into the dugout where he received immediate attention from the team’s medical staff. Within just a few minutes Jonathan was rushed to the hospital where doctors credited Rice with saving the boys life. Jim Rice played the rest of the game in a blood stained uniform, a true badge of courage.

Pacific barreleye fish shows off its highly sensitive, barrel-like eyes - topped by green, orblike lenses. The fish lives in the deep waters (2,000 feet or more) of the Pacific off California’s central coast. The 6-inch (15-centimeter) barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) had been known since 1939 –but only from mangled specimens dragged to the surface by nets. The transparent-headed fish spends much of its time motionless, eyes upward. The green lens atop each of the fish’s eyes filters out what little sunlight makes it down from the surface, allowing the fish to focus on the bioluminescence of small jellies or other prey passing overhead.  Then the eyes rotate forward to follow the prey, allowing the fish to home in on its meal.

Today I forgive myself. Not just once. Again, and again, and again. As many times as it takes to find peace.
