“A baby dolphin earns its jumping stripes as it swims alongside its mother and leaps out of the water next to her. The dolphin calf was virtually stuck to its mother’s side as they swam before simultaneously jumping a metre out of the water near the Sao Miguel Island of the Azores region, Portugal.”

Yet another miracle on this wild blue planet.
We live on a blue planet
that circles around a ball of fire
next to a moon that moves the sea,
and you don’t believe in miracles?

Mothers and babies naturally sync together. Human infant sleep patterns mimic the mothers if they co-sleep…this means longer periods of rest for mom and baby. Nature is amazing!

A very synchronous theme for me David. The dolphins showed prominently at a recent retreat I attended. So lovely they are and so cooperative in their nature.
