Dolphin Experience Yesterday
There is nothing better than a day at the beach with a person you truly love watching the dolphin play right in front of you! Yesterday is a day that will be very hard to forget.
It is important to take time off .... from everything .. .. and just quietly relax. I didn't anticipate the kind of day I would have when my husband suggested that we go to the beach. For him, that means taking his pick up truck, driving down toward Indian Pass and driving on the beach itself. We do this often at all times of the year, 'just because', but yesterday ... the water was gorgeous, the beach was virtually empty, and the waves were like little rivlets of foam. The water was so clear and warm that "eyes closed" you might think you were off and away on a tropical island.
I imagine that due to a lot of the storm activity out in the Gulf of Mexico, the coastline has changed somewhat. The 'point' at the elbow of the Cape looks as if it was returning. But ... the tide going out and the churning from the active storms created a wide sand bar before us, giving us a front row seat to the deep water .. and a great playground to sun an fun in relative safety!
The dolphins ! I've seen them many times, have photographed them and video taped them, but haven't seen them this close up in a looooong time. A pod of .. gosh its so hard to say .... twenty maybe were right in front of us. We watched them head north, then come back south, jumping through the water and they chased each other and perhaps their dinner. At least eight times one jumped straight out of the water in an arc, not just arc-ing through the water, but up and out of the water, tail-propelled. With the blue of the water and the blue of the sky ... the dolphin's dark silohuette against the horizon was idyllic. I could have gone back to the truck, just 15 yards away, to get my camera, but .. I didn't want to miss one second of the show. It was special it seemed, just for Billy and I.
Dolphin are such incredibly beautiful creatures. I believe they were seeded here (along with ALL of us) but from a very special sea culture way out beyond our Universe. They hold ancient wisdom that they share timelessly. All we have to do is listen. There are miles and miles of Gulf front ... but the school of fish they were chasing brought them right in front of us. Such a blessing.
After they left, and the sun was getting lower in the sky, we packed up our stuff and headed for home, but .. not before I could bless the dolphin and gift the Gulf with crystals -- for the dolphin, for cleaner waters, and for safety during this hurricane period. Crystals. A gift from the earth that is returned to us. The sand along our Gulf beaches is made from ground quartz. The circle continues.
