One of those walks
when the sun shines.
The ground pops up
to meet the booted foot.
Hercules, the neighbours bull,
is in his stable.
And all is well with the world.

A Pat on The Back for Dolphin Compassion
This evening we watched a TV programme about a remarkable group of dolphins in New Zealand in 2004.
Pod of Bottlenose Dolphins protect group of lifeguards from Great White Shark attack.
Then, in the process of looking for the link for the above rescue I found this interesting story. NZ dolphin rescues beached whales.
Mr Smith said that just when his team was flagging, the dolphin showed up and made straight for them.
“I don’t speak whale and I don’t speak dolphin,” Mr Smith told the BBC, “but there was obviously something that went on because the two whales changed their attitude from being quite distressed to following the dolphin quite willingly and directly along the beach and straight out to sea.”
“I shouldn’t do this I know, we are meant to remain scientific,” Mr Smith said, “but I actually went into the water with the dolphin and gave it a pat afterwards because she really did save the day.”
Animals can show compassion, and so can we.

We all have the words, it’s a matter of letting them flow out. Existence enters us and it is the way of things that existence flows out. Like waves, like the tides.
