I noticed a starfish on the beach, marooned on the sand beyond the reach of the waves. I stopped to watch and think. Should I rescue it? As I pondered this and other things, a bigger wave than most broke on shore and just reached the creature. With this, the starfish lifted its 5 limbs off the sand and surfed on its small contact belly area to rejoin the sea. I like being reminded that I am irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
