Prayer for Love
I awoke this morning with the beginning of this prayer in my mind and heart. I finished it and wanted to share. Let us love.

I was trying to find an old license from decades ago that I might need for a job application. I looked all through my files and then had to look through storage containers. In doing so, I found a journal from my time photographing and swimming with spotted dolphins and humpback whales. I started reading and found a meditation written from my experience with whales.
The license wasn’t what I needed to find. It was the journal. Isn’t it wonderful how life works!?! The same messages I was receiving and recording 11 years ago, are coming strong now. Not only was it a validation for me, but a wonderful remembering of feeling dolphins push against my body as we swam in perfect harmony. And of humpback whales connecting with their calves. I still get goosebumps!
I hope you enjoy this meditation gifted from the whales to me…and now to you.

I sat down at my keyboard and thought about opening to my true self, embracing all of who I am, and this music poured out. I paired it with images and videos I’ve taken. The final image of the dolphin and me was taken by Rodney Bursiel.

When faced with change and the Unknown, how we navigate that in-between time makes all the difference.

A recent search for peace and beauty led me to two places within the Smoky Mountains. One, Andrews Bald where flame azaleas were in bloom. The other, Alum Cave trail where light beams seemed to guide me to the summit.
