This is so spot-on that it hurts.

The famous Italian diver Enzo Mallorca dove into the sea of Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt... something slightly hit his back. He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo followed. At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives. Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.) The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant! The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off. Enzo Mallorca ended his speech by saying: Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth." ~ Vangelis. See more

Caeri Bertrand. Author Dear Sangha, there is word our teacher Thich Nhat Hanh has stopped eating. There are a number of his monks traveling to him now in Viet...nam to be in his presence. Thay has been incredibly strong and vibrant following his stroke in 2014 and he will mark 94 years on October 11. A report from Plum Village on Sept 18th stated his health has been declining despite the best of care. Please join me and the other admins and mods of this group in meditation for Thay. Plum Village has requested we sit or walk for Thay and offer forgiveness to others as a way to continue Thay's energy of peace. If we can sit and generate compassion for others and forgiveness we increase the being and the legacy of Thay. Thay taught us the next Buddha may be the sangha. I believe your mindful thoughts and actions now for him will bring that closer and help him to touch more lives than ever as he ends this incarnation. May Thay be peaceful now in his root temple and feel the love and gratitude from all over the world. See more
