Dolphin

"When dolphin shows up it is time to breathe some new life into yourself. Get out, play, explore and most of all breathe."
-Ted Andrews, Animal Speak

This totem is right on point today. There has been some dolphin strandings at nearby beaches and I read about them yesterday on a friends Facebook page. 6 were stranded because of the drastic tides here that go out so far and so quickly. 5 of them were saved but one had already died when the IFAW(international Fund for Animal Welfare) team arrived. It was sad to hear about the one that didn't make it but i do understand that death is a part of the natural world and these kind of things happen in the cycle of life.
I went to wellfleet today to stop by the free shop and go for a walk. I went to Indian Neck Beach which is across a small bay from where the dolphins had been stranded on Great Island. Sure enough over the night the one dolphin left behind had been taken by the tide across the bay and beached on the one that I chose to walk on today. It was like something pulled me in that direction. I am thankful to have had came upon the dolphin as I said a prayer for it knowing my thoughts and words were heard.
