The Universe Is Smiling: "Calm as a Seahorse"

Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: "Roam the sea of your life with calmness"

Symbolic of the Seahorse Written by avenefica on August 21st, 2007
"A relatively calm, and mild-mannered creature, the seahorse is seemingly content to roam the seas.  Their bodies are geared for ambling-type motion – not for speed.  Thus, they are symbolic of patience and contentment – they are happy with being where they are, and are in no hurry for advancement.
Further testimony to these attributes is the lack of evolution of the seahorse’s body style.  They have remained with this body style without change since their inception.  Content to be who they are, and not feeling the need to change – these are a few profound lessons the seahorse provides us.
However, along with a resistance to change, and a carefree approach to progress, the seahorse can be a symbol of inflexibility or stubbornness.  To wit, the seahorse wraps its tail around the nearest object in order to anchor itself in turbulent waters.  This is a lesson to be persistent in our goals, but be mindful that we are not too inflexible or stubborn in our achieving them.
A unique aspect of the seahorse is that the male is impregnated by the female and carries the offspring to term.  This is a message of sharing the load in the home, and gaining perspective of both sides (genders) of an argument or situation."
