Every winter, the magnificent humpback whales come to Maui.
In a basin about 30 miles in diameter, these gentle giants play,
mate, sing their haunting songs, and give birth. In April, the
humpbacks return to the north Pacific, where they feed until
they return the following December.
Astonishingly, the same whales return to precisely the same
place every year. Although they traverse three or four thousand
miles in each direction, they pinpoint the same tiny basin in the
middle of a huge ocean.
To me, this is compelling proof that the Great Spirit has imbued
all creatures with the wisdom to be in their right place at the
right time. The blueprint of our destiny is etched deep into our
psyche, along with the guidance to achieve it.
As spiritual beings, we have the capacity to find the place in
life where we feel most at home. Each of us has a right living
situation, relationship, career, and spiritual path that our internal
guidance system will show us if we relax and cooperate. We
don't have to add any intelligence; we just need to let go of all
thoughts and activities that obscure our innate knowledge.
Should you doubt your ability to fulfill your destiny, remember
the whales. Consider dogs and cats who find their way home
after being lost many miles away, and remember the birds who
fly south for the winter and return to the same backyard in the
north. If God cares so carefully for the birds, surely we are
known and loved, and our way shall be made clear.
"I place my life in Your hands, trusting that You always lead me
to my right place and my highest good."
"I give my life to God to guide me today."

Heart-Centered Living" (c) 1996 by Alan Cohen
