Hello dearly beloved, as our purple glorious Prince would say.
I've been fortunate to have been experiencing a lot of travel in the past couple years, and one of my most recent excursions was back in Hawaii on the Big Island getting to swim with our wild dolphin friends. They sure bring deep joy, peace, laughter, and insight. That is, highly evolved, intelligent, insight. They welcomed us to swim in their pods and to play with us along with communicating through their example how to have more "workable" relationships in our own lives. Dolphins swim in unison with each other and have a clear, natural flow in which they swim, co-exist, and BE with each other in harmony. In the numerous swims I have experienced with them over the years, one of the many consistent fascinating things that continues to spark me is how as speedy as they swim with so many abrupt spins and turns, and as close as they get to me and to each other, I have never witnessed them crashing into myself or each other. They are graceful, intuitive, and respectful creatures. Their approach with others is to glide without colliding into each other. I really understood this message into my own life in regards to relationships and boundaries. Having boundaries or experiencing lack of boundaries is a struggle so central for many. Do as the dolphins do, practice seeing ourselves and our relationships with clear distinctive lines of unison swimming and flowing without the crashing into each other that unnecessarily can create so much disturbance, suffering, and general "unworkability" in our relationships and in our lives. Eventually, with more awareness and practice, our lives become less focussed on implementing boundaries, and become more organically focused on generating more intelligent flow that feels more harmonious and loving. This translates into experiencing more love for ourselves and love for the ones we care about. Our relationship with our selves and our relationships with others shift in more effective ways. If only we would all simply "do as the dolphins do."
Much love and blessings always.
