Thank you Jason, for your ever-beautiful writings that embrace your readers with quietude during these turbulent times of uncertainty - although Hope feels to be on the horizon - even for the eels.
Who knew? Certainly not I. Eels Must certainly be the most amazing creatures on the planet. Thank you so much for introducing them to us. I am misanthropic precisely because of the damage we are doing to the natural world and its constituent species like these astonishing eels you write so eloquently if. Again, thank you.
Thank you, Michael. I feel much the same but try to balance it out with the writing and the learning about all that eels (and cedars and archaea and asters, etc.) represent.
Thank you for the article! This one has softened my view of eels quite a bit, from the least favorite animal I find in our underwater equipment to a very impressive species.
Thanks, Kevin. That's the best kind of praise. Hopefully you'll admire them a bit as you wrestle with them... Did you see some recent news showing that baby eels have been seen swimming back up the digestive tracts of predators that swallowed them? They escape out the gills. Crazy.
Thank you, Sang. They really are fascinating, aren't they? And they're just one sample of the beautiful complexity of the world. It's hard to imagine the long and subtle evolutionary process that led to their migratory lives.

Thank you, Kathleen. That's very kind of you to say. And yes, hope and the horizon seem perpetually aligned...

Well, that fact may have pushed them a little bit further down the list. All kidding aside, that is absolutely wild.
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.

It really is a wonder. Your beautifully written piece certainly added a richer dimension to these creatures than just sushi food 😆. Cheers!
