Jerry and the Hammerhead Shark

Planetary Intelligence can take a variety of forms. Jerry writes in from Maui that he was recently down on the beach when a Hammerhead shark was sighted, navigating its way to the beach. He went into the waves to take a look and suddenly found the shark coming directly towards him and then circling him three times. People yelled for him to get out of the water, but he had the feeling that there was something in the situation he should pay attention to. At one point, the shark grazed his leg and then turned partially over on the water surface a few feet away. Jerry noticed something "stuck in the shark's mouth." Realizing something was wrong, Jerry grabbed the shark out of the water and pulled it onto the beach. He then saw a red snapper head, stuck in the shark's mouth with skeleton going down his gullet. Instinctively, Jerry grabbed the shark and shook him hard by the tail, three times. The snapper head popped out of the shark. People yelled that the shark should be eaten but Jerry said no. "The shark came to us for help, we have to put him back." So Jerry pulled the shark back into the water, and guided it out towards the waves. It swam away.
Jerry told me that as the whole event was playing out, he realized he was having a planetary intelligence experience, and it gave him the faith to help the shark, rather than to feel afraid.
