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."
