Learning From a Dolphin

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Psalms 139:13 NIV

True Story Recently 

The beauty of the heartbeat
Comes forth a new life
Even before this heartbeat one is being
Knitted together as a master piece
Recently, I was on a trip
At a water amusement park
Learning about dolphins from a tour guide
One could swim and play 
With the dolphins if they choose
They would come up do tricks with one
Let one grab ahold of their fin 
Swim one around the pool
So ,this guide tells on one occasion 
This lady had paid her money
Ready to swim with the dolphins
So exciting this must be.
Eagerly she awaited her time
As many were in front of her.
Finally, it was her time to glide 
Across the pool 
The dolphins turn to bring her joy
So, the dolphin out of habit swims 
Swiftly to greet this young lady
They seem as excited as the people.
But, in this moment the dolphin
Was headed towards her
Then, stopped in complete standstill
Seemingly ,confused is this dolphin
Not, to approach this young lady.
No one knew what was going on.
This took the trainers by surprise
Why is this happening.
So later they found out
A dolphin before it approaches
A human it hears the heartbeat
In this moment there was two heartbeats.
This dolphin knew it was a baby within
So it did not approach to harm.
God, sends us so many warnings.
Sadly, in blindness not many recognize.

Yeah ,I never had a Dolphin as well, : ). Just dogs and cats , have always been amazed by dolphins though, especially after hearing this story about them, seems they might have more respect for the heartbeat of mankind than many mankind itself.May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: )

An interesting story, dear Stephan. Incredible too. Dolphins are supposed to be very intelligent creatures. The dolphin of the show could understand that the lady was pregnant listening to the twin heartbeats. When God sends out signals, we humans are not able to discern them. How sad!

This is very true Valsa,. This story did amaze me , was great to hear after , hearing all the fuss In U.S. about fighting for laws to kill the unborn,. May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: ). We know all have a part of God within, many just need guidance to get one to seek and be awakend within through Christ: )
