The respect for nature grows with each breath on the World Team journey. I continue to learn from dolphins, even when self-isolating in this large home, on this small island off of Tarpon Springs, Florida, USA.<\/p>\n

My writer\u2019s retreat was meant to go into the early months of 2020.\u00a0 This retreat, now hermitage, or imposed self-isolation, began when I couldn\u2019t return to Fiji.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t able to make the flight from California to Fiji because of my lung\u2019s ability to heal\u2014 to take a deep breath from the smoke of fires in CA 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How surreal it is like the world, the collective consciousness, that is the WE, US, have joined together in having to go within, stay home, reprioritize, renew our life\u2019s patterns and systems, and for many of us, take a deeper breath. \u00a0A breath to review and renew what is important.<\/p>\n

Yes, I was incredibly challenged to breathe, for what seemed like an eternity, but was only about 30-40 hrs. All I focused on was conscious breathing and each moment striving to take a deeper breath.\u00a0 I used every breathing technique I knew from over the years of taking on my pulmonary function and respiratory system, which had been in the past impaired.\u00a0 I tried to recall what I learned from Nei Kung to Conscious Breathwork.\u00a0 Each new breath, birthed an infinite light within, unattached to a presence in form, as I let go on the exhale.<\/p>\n

The \u201cStay Home\u201d mantra, began to challenge me coming into week four.\u00a0\u00a0I remember in being human we are each unique, we each sometimes respond differently to the same thing based on our immune systems. But we do have our breath in common, and this home, as mentioned in World Team\u2019s Universal Declaration<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After all of the years of swimming with the dolphins in the wild in Malibu, Hawaii, Fiji, even New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island the dolphins continue to teach and enlighten.\u00a0 One dolphin actually came to me, during this recovery time, when I couldn\u2019t go into the water.\u00a0 I had just begun to go outside to walk on the private property out on to the dock that extends from the home yard to the water for a \u201cself-isolated\u201d communion with nature.<\/p>\n

Swimming with dolphins in the wild in different parts of the world for decades the name, \u201cThe Dolphin Lady\u201d became an alias.\u00a0 I feel most at home floating in the ocean, and often when I float the dolphins come, as if \u201ccalled\u201d.<\/p>\n
