Freedom of the Dolphin

Teach me the freedom of the dolphin;

release my spirit to dance like her

in the waters of light.

With hardly a whisper she sails through the sea,

her presence revealed only by the rippling water.

Soaring upward, she is drawn to the source

of the warmth she feels;

warmth which penetrates even the depths of the sea.

Beautifully arched, she hangs suspended

an eternal second

before gliding back into the sea;

full of joy,

full of grace.

The mystery of the freedom of the dolphin

is in the very nature of her moving,

her being.

Her spirit does the bidding,

her heart and mind and body

follow as one.

Teach me the freedom of the dolphin;

impress upon my heart and mind and body

to follow my spirit.

Arouse in my spirit the desire

to hear your whisper,

the whisper of Spirit

so I may know the freedom of the dolphin;

until all that I am,

all that is freedom ~

courage and peace and passion,

joy and love and grace ~

all that I am created to be

is released in my spirit

to dance in the waters of light.
