As a folk song tells us, “All God’s children got a place in the choir” -or a place on the stage of life. When we turn to Divine Spirit and willingly seek guidance for how we can be there for each other, we are never let down. Every person who seems different or “other” to us deserves “dolphin-hood” in the eyes of the beholder, no matter the circumstances or appearances, so they may grow in strength and courage to create their dreams. When we realize our uniqueness and keep believing in ourselves no matter how unusual we may appear to others, there is always a blessing in some way for us from the universe. Room was made in the tank not only for a dolphin, but a few extra fish. And that is what happened in this true-life story.

Eying the teacher intently, the girl asked, “Where do the dolphins stand?” When the teacher asked what was wrong and how she could help, the little girl’s reply was slow in coming but very clear. As they happily created their own lines and animal sounds, the teacher decided where each would be on stage.Īfter all was sorted out, including which costumes needed altering or mending by parent volunteers, the teacher was puzzled to see one very quiet girl standing off by herself by the piano. With much laughter and dancing around, they began their journey of becoming their character. Although the costumes needed to be matched to each child’s size, the soon-to-be-stars were too excited to argue about what animal each would be. The discussion included the animal costumes the teacher had inherited from a retiring children’s theater director.
