For the past three years I have tried to let the images I post speak for themselves. I have tried not to interject too much of myself or personal thoughts. So, at the risk of sounding at bit ‘out there’, I wanted to do a post about a tattoo I got recently. The dolphin tattoo does tie in with the title of this blog. Background info:The tattoo is located on my right forearm. This is the only tattoo I have at this time at the age of 60. 

Although I have no firsthand experience with dolphins I have done a little research and have talked with others who have had personal experiences. I believe a couple of things about dolphins: 1. they are highly evolved, intelligent and have healing powers; 2. dolphins are the guardians of the planet- that is to say that as goes the dolphin so goes the earth. I have no proof to back up either of these thoughts or assertions–I just believe. Having the image of the dolphin as a constant companion is a reminder for me of many things: to stay positive, even in the darkest of times; to use my energy for the highest of purposes, to tread as lightly on the earth as I can, being as much as a caretaker as I can and lastly to not take myself too seriously, to be as playful as I can as I walk through the rest of this life.
