Gratitude
A fisherman spotted her just east of the
Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate)
and radioed for help. Within a few hours,
the rescue team arrived and determined
that she was so badly off, the only way to
save her was to dive in and untangle her….
a very dangerous proposition. One slap of
the tail could kill a rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives
and eventually freed her. When she was
free, the divers say she swam in what
seemed like joyous circles. She then came
back to each and every diver, one at a
time, nudged them, and pushed gently,
thanking them. Some said it was the most
incredibly beautiful experience of their
lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth
says her eye was following him the whole
time, and he will never be the same.
May you be so fortunate to be surrounded
by people who will help you get untangled
from the things that are binding you.
And, may you always know the joy of giving
and receiving gratitude 🙏
