This story reminded me of my many trips to Vancouver Island. Ryan, Kennedy and I go on the ferry to Vancouver Island to visit Kennedy’s Grandma and Grandad a few times a year. When the ferry is leaving or returning to Horseshoe Bay, Kennedy loves looking at the thousands of barnacles and mussels on the large posts around the ferries.

The barnacle is just like many of us because we have been staying at home more than we ever have before. I think a lot of us have had times when we felt bored like the barnacle is. Much like the barnacle though, it’s better to be bored than to be out and about like the fish and putting yourself at risk.
