A Leap of Faith

The other night I was feeling in need of support and guidance. Thoughtful and emotional about the last few weeks and really wanting something to steer my focus. Often my Goddess cards are good for this, quite often astounding me at how spot on they are. This time I was blown away, so I wanted to share…

For the last week I’ve been in Antigua, more specifically onboard a yacht off coast of the island. I came here in response to an invite from a friend to rest, recuperate and basically do as I pleased. There was the potential for a bit more sailing too, and lots of swimming. Previous to this I was in Grenada to spend time with a guy called Dan – a man I made a great connection with, originally on the subject of the sea and sailing, a connection I’m still in the process of understanding.

Two cards were drawn. The first was Dana, the second Sedna. Dana talks about spiritual development and teaching – demonstrating through experience, writing and speaking – essentially what the Leap of Faith experiment is doing. Sedna is a goddess of the ocean – suggesting spending more time near the sea, sailing, swimming, perhaps swimming with dolphins. Essentially exactly what I’m doing, except for the swimming with dolphins. But you know what, the following day, for the first time ever, I saw a dolphin in the wild… it swam beside the boat as we were sailing up the west coast of Antigua. It brought me to tears…

And not only that, I noticed my surname contains the word ocean. In fact, an anagram of Deacon could be d’ ocean. Purely and simply these were my focuses, Dan and d’Ocean. For me that was perfect…
