Hi Fiona,

Yes, it was a completely heartbreaking exchange with the crab. There's a deeper meaning for me, as well, with this synchronicity that has been percolating within. I eat mostly vegan and have eliminated meat with the exception of fish, which I eat occasionally as I continue to let go of food cravings and addictions, adjust to socializing with friends and family who are meat eaters, and rise to the physical challenges of more intensive food preparation and cooking than I am used to.

The best way to help free our marine friends is not to eat them! That resolute crab, freedom fighter that he is, would not be imprisoned in a small, cramped fish tank if no-one wanted to eat him. Our telepathic exchange has fired up my resolve to progress with compassionate eating and to live in peace and harmony with all sentient life, surrendering to what is, accepting that I am doing the best that I can.

Lovely to hear about your new home! Beannachd Dia dhuit. Blessings of God be with you.
