I found a really cool shell at Galveston. I showed it to Dad and he said it was a fossilized fish fin. It's up for debate, but the fish has been on my mind...
Not without great trial mind you. I feel like I am navigating deep understanding- at the same time, I am being tested on how to practice this understanding when pressure is applied. For example- my accidentally drinking jasmine tea last night triggered heart palpitations- sleeping on my left side continued the palpitations throughout the night and has given me insomnia(the second time this week). After a serious bout of mysterious ailments(3 months of debilitating episodes) and years of left side pain, I have had to recover through drastic lifestyle changes. So drastic that any tiny deviation triggers prolonged suffering. Like drinking tea at night. Being able to see things clearly, on a deeper level, while trying to practice Love for those around me has been a huge test. Like allowing others comfortable in their understanding of 3D to flourish within the system, while operating and opening up to a totally different system myself. Understanding that All is God and wherever one finds themself it is perfectly alright- while reining in the excitement of my own personal journey so as not to impose. My restless mind also tries to provoke indulgent habits that have later been understood as detrimental to happy and compassionate living. Just a ton of insight, a ton of pressure- it certainly feels like the fish is teaching me how to navigate the waters, whether in turbulent times or smooth.
Before the Christians adopted religious fish symbols, the Great Mother Goddess (another name for the fish) was acknowledged by the Celts and other pagan cultures throughout Europe and the other continents.
The Chinese Great Mother Kwan-yin is depicted as a fish while the Indian goddess Kali was known as the “fish-eyed one.” Isis, the Egyptian universal goddess, was named the Great Fish of the Abyss.
The Japanese folklore speaks of the catfish symbolism. Namazu, the giant catfish bringer of earthquakes, is an important figure of Japan’s mythology. In Ancient Greece, the goddess Aphrodite was celebrated on Fridays when they ate fish.
