Mind Scraps: Friends with Fish

My first morning at my beachfront abode, I woke to the lulling sound of the waves. I had left the sliding door in my room open all night, so that I might feel the breeze caress me while I slept. I slept like a baby. I had plans to meet the Angelic Voice out on the beach in front of my apartment. When he arrived, we dove into the sea. Chatting and relaxing into the water together, we let the morning slip away. Sometimes we’d emerge from the sea only to slip into one of the three pools that are a part of my complex. Then, we’d head back to the sea.

Something tickled me! I look down and yelped with surprise. A little, tropical fish, about the size of my ring finger was swimming before me, facing me with his little fish eyes. “Awww look!” I directed Angelic Voice. “How cute! He’s swimming with me.” At first I thought he would go away shortly enough. But, the little fish kept swimming around me, circling me as I circled in my spot trying to follow him with my eyes. Then, he went to Angelic Voice and swam with him for a while. Our little fish friend kept swapping between us, swimming with us, even as the tide brought us closer to shore where the waves toppled on top of us and spun us under water. Each time we made our way back out past the waves, to the calmer water, we found the little fish was right there with us.

“He’s not scared of us??” I marveled.

“On the contrary, he thinks of us as protection from bigger fish,” Angelic Voice reasoned.

“Has this ever happened to you?” I questioned.

“Maybe twice before?” said Angelic Voice. He grew up here and has swam in this ocean a countless number of times.

At least a half hour passed and our little fish friend still accompanied us. Then, I looked down and spotted another. A different type, slightly smaller. “There’s two now!”

We both giggled. “I’m starting to feel like a reef,” I joked.

We spent another 15 minutes in the water with them, about 45 mins in total swimming with a little fish friend or two, before we finally headed back to the beach. What a magical moment! I was completely smitten with mother nature, with my sea…

That night, I recounted the fish story to Natural Caretaker as we watched more UFOs blink, flash and zip far off in the night sky. “You’re very connected with nature,” he told me.

“Well, I try to be at least,” I responded.

“Lots of activity again tonight,” Natural Caretaker observed with intrigue.

“Like I said, it’s me!” I blabbered with a twinkle.

“You are the vibra (vibe),” Chihuahua Stud said. “You do bring a buena vibra (good vibe).”

It’s YOU guys who’ve openly welcomed me here and showed me the magical UFOs, I thought to myself.
