Sail On

 The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change, the realist adjusts the sails.        William Arthur Ward

A Lesson From Moko

moko.jpg

Moko is a bottle-nosed dolphin near the New Zealand coast. Recently he responded to the distress calls of two stranded whales and led them through a channel and into the sea. http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/03/12/nz.whales.ap/index.html

Moko restored them to their intended environment. Due to Moko’s efforts, the whales will hopefully enjoy a few more whale years instead of an early death on a New Zealand sand bar.

Dear Lord

You specialize in turning hopelessness to hope. Help me to be sensitive to the distress signals around me. I long to stand in the gap and intercede for someone who’s lost their way. In this sea of life–I want to be like Moko.
