Many
years ago, when my children were still quite young, we decided to
visit the local attraction of the animal theme park Marine World in
the bay area of California. While I am not a huge fan of animals of
the wild being cooped up in captivity, I moved through my mixed
feelings of wanting my children to have the experience of seeing
exotic birds and other animals, and my PETA style sensibilities.
Another big reason was to see the dolphin event.
We
went to one of the first dolphin shows of the day. We got close to
the water by sitting in the bench seats in the first row. As the
dolphins swam out, I felt a HUGE heart connection, something that had
happened before, but rarely. Waves of love and bliss flowed through
me. I sat there statue-like and stunned.
And
so were the dolphins...at least they were motionless. The trainer
attempted to run them through their various routines for their act.
The dolphins refused to move. Finally after a few minutes of nothing
happening, the trainer ended the show, clearly at a loss at what else
he could do. He mentioned when the next show would be.
The
amazing heart feeling began to dissipate as the dolphins left the
arena.
We
went to a later show, and I did not have the same reaction. The
dolphins performed in their usual expert way.
I
later asked an intuitive what had happened. She said that we—the dolphins and I—recognized each other. That they had not expected to
see me there, and I had not anticipated to have that heart communion
with them. It was a mutual love fest, as it were. They focused on
that, and not on performing.
It
was truly a blessing, and absolutely the best part about being there.
