I was up early. I wanted to see the sunrise, and I had to go to the opposite side of the island to see it. There was something about the sunset the night before that made me want to see the same cycle in reverse. I watched it mesmerized!

Afterwards, I went for a swim in the surf feeling somehow different. As if I had witnessed and understood some cycle that seemed so simple, but was actually astonishingly complex.

Sunset and sunrise are so much more than they seem. So very much more! I had been doing a lot of research into what our scientists are discovering about our universe. This is what we have learned at the dawn of this new millennium.

It seems that the Universe or more likely the creator of the Universe created a movement that lead to life based on pre-existing laws.

The laws by which the universe operates were created before the Universe began. When just the right circumstances occur, there is life. So far our little planet is the only one we know to have life. As we discover other solar systems we find that ours is unique. A famous physicist recently stated that the odds for life are about the same as winning a million dollar lottery a million times in a row.

As we understand more and more of physics and cosmology it tells us that life is precious. Life it now seems is one of the rarest oddities in the known Universe. So much engineering is involved. Just a few years ago, they were all telling us how common it must be, with billions of civilizations out there. Based on some new discoveries, they aren’t saying that anymore!

First there was the singularity. In an instant the singularity created out of nothing an infinite amount of mass and stretched out the fabric of space and time before it. This primordial mass exploded into existence in a flash of infinite light. As it cooled and expanded it began to gather in various places along the space time substrate. From this the first stellar fires began to burn.

These vast solar furnaces churn out heavier elements by fusing lighter ones together. Then these stars must die a spectacular death exploding and releasing their precious elements to space. This cycle must be repeated many times. Over eons all this material accumulates and organizes itself into very complex structures. Super Clusters, Local groups, Galaxies, suns, planets, and one with a biosphere – Earth.

The Earth is amazingly fertile. It took a whole universe of stars to manufacture it, and some amazing intelligence to set up the design and get the process going. You can see the Creator in the laws left behind. Laws that must be obeyed. These Laws formed the stars and made the planets. These same laws in a billion billion different ways ultimately made humanity. It would seem that the universe in some sense must have known we were coming.

I looked out over the water, but I could not see my dolphin friend.

I had a very strong sense that he was there helping my thoughts, but I could not see him.

Like a flash of lightning it occurred to me. His body had nothing to do with it. I was sensing his mind.

I was closer to understanding what he meant by having a dolphin mind.
