Sacred Honoring - We're all Connected


Here on my third trip to the Big Island, Hawaii, (very surprising to me!) my friend and I arrive at our condo overlooking the ocean, a real treat. As we begin unpacking and enjoying the view of the cove and the Kona town proper in the distance, I notice a pod of dolphin swimming in the distance. What I know from my previous experience here on the island is that their presence is sporadic and they can appear or not...at a number of places, as I'm sure the dolphin groupies can attest to! As I was to learn on my first trip to The Big Island, they swim into the coves during the day to sleep. They keep one eye open and half of their brain shuts down while they swim close together in their pods for safety while resting. Two of my three visits, I have had the most intimate and incredible experience being with them, not only swimming on a personal basis, but just being in their energy is very humbling. The last song my friend heard on the radio before our departure on our last visit, was "I'll Always Remember You." It brought tears to her eyes, as it was how she felt about the dolphin. Then of course, using all life as a mirror, it would have to be the same in reverse. The dolphin also saying, "I'll Always Remember You." So it was especially touching that we would arrive and they would come to welcome us back...(I just received a large chill) and while we came to be with them, they too came to be with us. A sacred honoring of love and acknowledgement of each. We are all connected!
