In this episode, I delve into a dream that illustrated my energetic capacity through the symbolism of a dolphin and an octopus. The octopus, with its many tentacles, represents the ability to grasp multiple things, but at the cost of mobility. The dolphin, on the other hand, embodies freedom and fluidity. I explore how these animals reflect my approach to focus and letting go, and discuss how community support expands our capacity to serve and sustain our mission.
