Getting Untangled

Dear Friends, A profound assurance that beneath the visible 

messiness of current life there are deeper layers still at work...

If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle on Thursday,  Dec 14, 2005, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had  become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was  weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle  to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped  around her body-her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farralone Islands

(outside  the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a  few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad  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, and nudged them, pushed them gently around-she thanked 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, and all those you love, be so blessed and 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.

    I pass this on to you in the same spirit ...

    Have a great day!
