Shiny scales with cold eyes, slippery and wet. So pretty, the little fishy. Distracted, I tripped over a math book and fell into the dark, rich water. Enveloped within. I closed my eyes, ears and stopped breathing so that I could stay there for awhile and just feel the softness. Hypnotized in the darkness by the heavenly water, the fish flitted by and the waves of energy hit my body. I opened my eyes and saw the shimmer. I followed for a long time and finally reached out to touch a scale. The fish turned abruptly and stared right at me. I thought for sure I had frightened it but after a long moment we started swimming together in unison. I felt so lucky to be swimming with such an animal, so swift and quiet. And then in a flash the shimmer flitted away. I was abruptly startled by the aloneness and stood up in the shallow pond.
Something caught my eye the other day, I could swear it was that very same fish. The dream that followed the sighting suggested that I missed the lesson that the fish had for me. I am left here wondering, searching, fantasizing about what it was I missed exactly.
This is what the Fish is to some:
The Fish can teach us to adapt to all environments, to streamline our lives, give us protection when we need it and connect us to creative element of life: water. The Fish reveals the strength of the currents in our lives and shows us clarity in the murky waters of the future. When a Fish enters your life, it will signal the senses being awakened: visions, prophetic dreams, greater contact with the spiritual realm and even clauraudience.
I wonder what lesson the fish was trying to teach you. Perhaps it was trying to provide some clarity about the recent murky past instead of the future?
