It's the feeling of being able to use an iron fist and destroy the entire ecosystem overnight...or to use a gentle touch and to maintain balance quietly observing a little slice of the ocean in your space. That feeling is what we love about reef keeping and nature in general. That feeling that reminds us we are creators. Meditate on that one ✌️
