Jonathan Livingston Seagull

“They are saying in the Flock that if you are not the Son of the Great Gull Himself”, Fletcher told Jonathan one morning after Advanced Speed Practice, “then you are a thousand years ahead of your time.”
Jonathan sighed. The price of being misunderstood he thought. They call you devil or they call you god. “What do you think, Fletch? Are we ahead of our time?”
A long silence, “Well, this kind of flying has always been here to be learned by anyone who wanted to discover it; that’s got nothing to do with time. We’re ahead of the fashion, maybe. Ahead of the way that most gulls fly.”“That’s something,” Jonathan said, rolling to glide inverted for a while. “That’s not half as bad as being ahead of our time”.

Swimming Freely with Dolphins

So, this evening on the way home I spotted 4 sea kayakers from the train. I then noticed that they were being followed by what I thought were the porpoises again, but then I realised they were actually dolphins! The kayakers soon realised they were being followed. So, I decided to get off the train and walk along the beach to get a closer look -  the dolphins were jumping out of the water with the kayakers were looking on in amazement (maybe it was these dolphins I saw yesterday). It was beautiful. The sun was setting. What a blessing to see these beautiful creatures so close to home!

"Dolphin  -- [Do not confuse with the 'Porpoise'] -- Inner sounds that can create outer manifestations.  Living in tune with the patterns and rhythm of nature. Using the power of breathing as an emotional release of anger and pain.  Swimming freely and going along with your  feelings."
