Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter is Dead

I'm deeply saddened by the news of Steve's death due to the barb of a stingray's tail to his heart. While diving off the north Queensland coast he swam over a sting ray and met his end during the filming of a documentary called 'The Ocean's Deadliest'. Steve, an Australian naturalist and conservationist exemplified what it's like to live with passion and purpose, what Gandhi called "My life is my message." His enthusiasm for animals, people, and children always made me wide-eyed. Where did this guy get his energy? It's a great loss that such a magnanimous spirit is no longer on this earth.
