The Case of the Disappearing Kayak

10/10/2012

Poof! Gone! Just like that!

Two days before my kayak Buttercup disappeared (on the recent Fall Equinox), I was sitting in her for the umpteenth time, coming home at sunset after kayaking with dolphins as I do most every evening at this time, and this thing happened. I looked at the dock under which I keep Buttercup, and saw it was empty and felt my heart lurch. I momentarily felt the adrenalin surge of loss until I realized the space was empty because I was sitting in my kayak! I have been joined at the hip with this kayak for 10 years and that being  spooked  by my own brain malfunction has never happened before.

Two days later, I go to kayak at sunset, and there is no kayak. She is gone gone gone. I have kept her in the same space for all this time. There is virtually no crime on this island. I have not the least doubt that I had a premonition two days prior about this imminent absence. (In picture she is on top of dock that she used to live under).

Here's my thought. I heard inside myself "This is not what it looks like. Relax." Well, I did relax. Really relaxed. I missed my companion because of the amazing experiences I had had in her over a ten year period but it occurred to me that love doesn't end, and I love her with all my heart still and time is an illusion and she is somewhere having an adventure and . . . I was told that this is not what it looks like so I can afford to just wait for the bigger story to present itself to me, whenever that happens.
 
I do have another kayak just like her but something told me not to pull it out yet. One of the results of my losing Buttercup is that I have started meeting up with dolphins in the water in whole new ways by swimming rather than  kayaking. It is harder because with a kayak I can cover a lot of ground, but, the dolphins seem to be wanting to hang out with 'the human' more than ever before. I just kind of go mindless and swim under water a lot and when I do these things, and don't go lusting after them, the dolphins come to me and include me while they are just going about their business. I just love being in their general area, leaving them alone, but feeling the results of their presence intensely. They look me in the eye as if to say, "yeah, you're ok with us" and then, they just keep on doing what they do. Feeling their sonar (and hearing it underwater) and spending so many hours in the water causes whole new levels of awareness to come into my sphere. I will be sharing much more about that in other blogs. Lifechanging stuff.

If Buttercup had not disappeared, I would not have discovered this new swimming connection. I was too content with my old routine. That's life, isn't it?

One last noticing . . .right next to where I would keep Buttercup, there has been an explosion of bright yellow butterflies. They are everywhere. They are like pieces of Buttercup that have taken flight. And for all I know, that is exactly what they are!

I really enjoyed hearing your experience of losing your kayak. To be able to swim with the dolphins is such a blessing and to hear them!!! When I was a little girl, I used to sneak out of my house and walk down to the jetty in the ocean and go all the way out and sit at the end...sometimes the moon was out and sometimes not. I would sit and just enjoy the peace with the ocean waves swelling around the rocks quietly...very often, but not every night, the dolphins would come by...they traveled in two and three at a time and would circle around and look at me from the water with that eye! I would put up my palms and bless them and smile...they would kind of hold my gaze for a bit and then off they went...I have never been able to swim with them...but, have called them many times to show people they do hear us and they absolutely want to interact with us. I love your webpage..congratulations! I look forward to what you share here...thanks!

Thank you Angel for that beautiful account.Clearly, you are attuned to our friends in the sea and they are to you. I am so glad you were pulled to go and sit at the end of the jetty and feed your soul in the manner that you did, making that connection. Do not be surprised at what is possible as you allow yourself to love and respect these wise sea beings from such a pure space.

What a blessing in disguise! I can't imagine anything more amazing then just being surrounded by such incredible creatures in their own natural environment! As humans, I think we selfishly expect everything to come to us. So to let go of expectation and meet nature in its own place... that has to be the most miraculous experience!
