Chrissie 8/27/2020 8:42:10 AM | Dear Robin, Thanks so much for your post it made me smile that my connection with Ossian brought you cheer :-). Aw I am sad to say that my dear Ossian is nowhere to be seen these days. I think it is because the world is starting to get busier again due to lockdown easing a bit. So many wild animals felt able in the peace and quiet to venture into territory they wouldn't have when humans were taking over. It was nice for the animals that they got a breather from that in order to explore. It was also nice for the environment to breathe with much less pollution being put out by humans. We think that we are the most intelligent of species, but we really aren't the way we treat the world and other creatures that inhabit it!! I miss Ossian but as long as he is happy swimming under the deep blue seas and has plenty of fish and love and companionship I am happy for him. But I think I will always miss him when I look out and he's not there, this is because he really did touch my heart. I felt truly happy when around him:-). Thank you Robin re your kind words and hopes for me getting a good home away from here. I live in hope re this!! And people's prayers are very much appreciated that I will be given a good place that Holly and I will be happy and safe in. I hope too that you are keeping well and taking gentle care of your good self. Its always lovely to hear you on the calls, God Bless, Chrissie | |||
Rockin Robin 8/16/2020 4:49:01 PM | Dear Chrissie & Holly, Your second post about Ossian...….Oh I loved it!! The fact that he came 5 times to see you and responded …….what joy!!!!! You are so blessed!!! God gave you something so special!!!!!! With the seasons changing he might migrate, who knows? But, he also may come back! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with him - with us!!! Both times blessed me and made me feel so happy!! You are a lovely person with a great appreciation for nature & God's beautiful creatures!! I want to tell you I will be praying for the council to approve and act in your favor. Also, for you to move to a new wonderful place with little Holly and as always pray for healing for you!! Love you dear sister, Big Hug!!!! Last week, a friend of mine told me that someone very evil and malicious was attacking her and her family! As a Christian, she was struggling trying to keep her faith and love in place for these horrible people as they continued to be mean to her family. That day, I prayed for her and opened my bible to these verses! It shocked me, but I just knew God wanted me to specifically give her these verses!! And to tell her to give it to Him and stop fretting over it. When you were on the call telling us about your neighbors, I immediately thought of these verses again. God can handle your neighbors and you can rest in the knowledge he is taking care of it, so you can have peace!! Isaiah 41: 11-13 Be sure that all who are enraged against you will be ashamed and disgraced; those who contend with you will become as nothing and will perish. You will look for those who contend with you, but you will not find them. Those who war against you will become absolutely nothing. For I am the Lord your God, who holds your right hand, who says to you, " Do not fear, I will help you". He is with you, you have nothing to fear or worry about!! Hope this helps uplift you!! When God brings verses to your mind as soon as you hear a problem or suffering, it is usually Him knocking with a message!! You have uplifted me so many times on the calls and I dearly love listening to you, plus your posts are so beautiful!! Thank you again for sharing such beautiful, beautiful thoughts!!! Love & Hugs, Rockin Robin | |||
Chrissie 8/13/2020 1:59:13 PM | Dear Robin, Linda, Karen, Jamie and Terry, Thanks sooo much for your response re Ossian the seal. It made me happy to see that our connection brought a smile to your faces :-). I still remember that feeling of utter joy I felt when he heard me call on him and he swam right to me. He saw that joy in my face, he heard that joy in my voice and he in turn was very happy to reciprocate the love back. I remember how he swam right to the waters edge and lifted his chest out the water, the spotted colours of brown and grey and white and his huge brown liquid eyes sparkling and shining at me, it was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. I decided to call him, 'Ossian,' because that name is originated from the old Irish Oisin and it is a boys name meaning, 'little deer.' Ossians eyes are big beautiful and almost deer like. And his name is pronounced Aw sheen... And I kind of thought it sounded, like Ocean. After our initial meeting I longed to see him and I did 8 days later. I called, "beautiful boy," and he swam right to me. Again, he was smiling, eyes sparkling and baring his beautiful chest for me too see. I chatted away to him as one would a long lost friend. And he talked with that seal sound, his whiskers moving and he looked deeply into my eyes. Five times I have seen him and called and he has swam to me . Once there were other people nearby and though he swam to me he was more reserved. But when I was alone he would always swim up out of the water bare his chest and open his eyes completely and we would look right at each each other and we were connected again Each time I would walk away my heart feeling warm and my mind content and happy and exhilarated. And this feeling would stay with me for a while as I remembered our meetings in my mind. In my heart, the warm feeling would last for a few hours. Later, in the days that followed I would find myself doing something rather menial in my home and then remember Ossian and all of a sudden a big smile would appear across my face. I started to research about harbour seals and fell in love with a myriad of pictures of them that I saw on the net. I watched and laughed heartily at a seal bobbing it's head in time to the beat of various songs. I was amazed that other scientists even taught seals to sing ten notes of the, "Star Wars, *'theme tune. I learned they are called,' the dogs of the sea.' As like dogs they are playful, childlike, inquisitive, intelligent and enjoy having fun. I watched videos of rescue seal pups being fed and watered and given soft toys to cuddle and blankets that resembled the feel of their mother's skin. And I cried and smiled when they released them back to the wild again. It's their lovely gentle faces that get me every time, their huge eyes and that bumbling awkward way they have when navigating dry land. And yet when they are in the water, they are elegant and delicate and dip and dive in the most eloquent and delightful way. I am transfixed by their gentle command of the watery universe they inhabit. I think to myself, how can they be so delicate in their swimming when they are such big fellows. Yet they swim like expert ballerinas of the oceans. And they love to play hide and seek, bobbing up and down, now you see me now you don't and teasing the onlooker :-). We as land creatures can mostly only dream of the worlds deep under the blue yonder that seals inhabit. My favourite pictures of seals are taken deep, deep under the sea showing them swimming in their world. Surrounded by underwater plants dancing and fish darting and water swaying. The colours vivid and beautiful and mesmerising. I would lie in my bed and close my eyes and picture that world in my minds eye. It brought me peace to think of that world. And so it is with a saddened heart that I say that I haven't seen Ossian for two and a half weeks now. After swimming to me five times, after I called on him, I hoped in my heart that this would be a regular connection between us. But as lockdown relaxes a bit and the world gets a little busier again it seems that the wild animals are now returning to their own worlds again. I walk to our meeting place and I gaze out to the water and I call his name and I look and I watch and I wait. Holly sits and watches and waits beside me. I look left, I look right. I look up, I look down.I think in my mind, "Where's my beautiful boy?" I feel in my heart, " Where's my beautiful boy." And eventually I come away up the road, to my normal life. I guess the essence of me longing for that connection with the wild, the free and the beautiful. I still have my amazing memories and I'm still hopeful that I will see him again. Whether I do or whether I dont, I still say prayers for Ossian and his family. I hope that they will be all well and happy, with plenty of nice fish to keep them content.:-).i wish them all a long and happy life and a peaceful passing in old age. I'm wondering what Ossian is doing now. I dearly hope that he's basking on a comfortable, supportive rock, surrounded by the sound of gentle water, which lulls him into a deep and peaceful sleep. Love you Ossian, Chrissie and Holly xxx | |||
