Once in a blue moon, a psychological or psycho-emotional breakthrough happens in humans… they wake up being different, seeing the world with a brand-new set of eyes. It’s neither bad, nor good, compared to the original, but the perspective is entirely changed, and never before imagined!
Like seeing the backyard from your window every morning, and then, one morning, waking up on the roof, looking down at the same backyard from a different point of view. The colors are the same, the bushes are still there, and the palm tree seems a lot closer… a lot closer! And so interesting, too! Never saw it like that…the green is greener, and the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves sends one in sensory overload…
Or just like looking at the pattern on a zebra…the lines start mingling and the brain comes up with new and mesmerizing designs. Add another zebra to the mix and you get fantastic fun day! Two of a kind, put together to become one. Hmm…what a thought. Never imagined before…
Or like submerging your body, letting it float on its own, without any effort on your side, allowing your body to take over. And maybe even see a dolphin or two…maybe even swim with them… thoughts never acknowledged before, kinda’ scary, easily dismissed as unrealistic, having no place in your daily routine…
But, then again, can’t swim with the dolphins without getting in the water… so getting in the water is a good start. One might not see the dolphins at all…they don’t always come…it’s actually quite rare that they do… but that one day, when you float freely on the waves, and the sky above is the purest blue you’ve ever seen, and you feel something sliding under you in the water…no matter how many times you played it in your head…your heart just stops. It’s fear at first. It throws you completely off balance. You sink, and you flap the waves, trying to keep your head above water… until you open your eyes and see them. Fishy faces, hopping around you, just as amazed at you as you are at them. Only a lot more daring. A new sensation storms your whole being… not joy. Not happiness. Not awe. But all in one…euphoria!
It jolts your heart and sends spikes of hot flashes all over… and you’re free. Free to swim with the dolphins. Free to breathe in the scents. Free to feel the water wrapping your body in a fluid robe… weightless.
I hear many get there…in their own time, I guess…when they least expect it; but until you experience it, you can’t really fathom the concept…too strange of an experience…to unreal. I hope life throws you this curve soon…you can’t keep it forever, but what a wealthy person you’ll be! Richer than kings, happier than babes, freer than ever! May it happen soon! And may you welcome it without fear.

Letting go to enjoy floating anytime is sublime. But with the dolphins must be a real treat.
