Tuesday Afternoon
A few days ago, after a strenuous day trying to track down a miracle potion from China that has been keeping my inner organs working for ages, but alas, has been cancelled due to pending tariffs…I stopped by the ocean to soothe my soul.
It was a chilly overcast day with few people out and about, but I walked down to the water and there, at the edge of the sea, two giant breath-takingly beautiful dolphins lying and dying. I sat with them and stroked them. A few fishermen drew close and sat with me.
When I walked back to the car, the inlet where my sea lions cavort and head out to sea and back again, which is ruled by them, was devoid of sea lions. Instead hundreds of dolphins slowly circling.. it was haunting….I shouted out to them…”Go back! Find deep clean water!”
In Sri Lanka when tsunamis are coming, the elephants behave strangely.
Are these dolphins warning us or grieving or confused in their upset?
The heart…feelings…this is where we unite and compassion comes alive…this is how we are drawn into another’s world and their spirit into ours…it is a secret bridge. Feelings.
What is happening to these magnificent creatures is happening to us and vice versa.
May we breathe life into our feelings and all heal.
