I AM A DOLPHIN REMEMBERING HIS HOME IN THE SEA I had completely forgotten How important swimming is to me, How vital and good it is for me To be pulling this body underwater, To feel sweet water all around me, Above, below and beside me Until tonight, when our wearying Travels brought us to this hotel With its vast indoor pool. Even here, far from the sea Where I was bred, born and grew up, My dolphin nature immediately surfaced And took over every movement I make, My own true essence returning to me As I returned to leaping and diving deep Under water that has ever been My own heart’s true home. On land, my weariness and painful legs Sometimes make even walking a struggle, As the illusions of getting older descend, But here tonight, in this captured water and During these magical hours, I have the full Freedom and power of one who is ageless, Who is reveling in simply being here for Each and every one of these present moments, Who is free of yesterday and tomorrow, Who easily swims deep down into the Cool silence of these comforting waters, Grateful to be reminded of what I really am— A simple man who will always be A dolphin who must return to the sea. August 5, 2023 On a road trip far from our usual home
“In the ecstasy and freedom of the open sea I find my true nature rising within me…” —Yeshe Gyamtso
