What Is Beauty?: Animal Communication From A Koi Fish

Over the years, I receive communications from many differernt types of animals. Having a house in beautiful Upstate NY also gives me the unique joy of being able to talk to wild animals as well.


But I also have a pond on my property and I was sitting feeding my fish this morning, there are a mix of comets (goldfish) and blue gill. But the ones’ near and dear to my heart are the 4 Japanese Koi fish that came into my life 6 years ago.

There were 5 Koi, but 3 years ago I lost one, her name was Starlight.
She was all white, beautiful, and had just a marvelous energy about her.
The other Koi are…

“Footsteps”:
(multi-colored with orange, black & white). Named so because she has black spots on her back that look like someone with tiny feet walked on her back.

“Strong Black Tail”:
Bright orange with an amazing black tipped tail
Black Tail loves to thrash his tail around and make giant waves with it.

“Mahtai”:
(pronounce Ma-Tie) (all white)
She named herself and told me what her name was when we first meet.
I have found out since then, that Mahtai means “Chief in Samoan. I did not know that until the day I looked it up on Google.
She used to be light yellow but then 3 years ago (right after Starlight transitioned) Mahtai made the decision to turn white.
She also made the decision at that time to go from being a he to a she.
my Koi friends are always keeping me guessing!

    And then there is
    Rah..
    Gold like the sun and named after the Egyptian Sun God, Rah is an extraordinary being and I am honored to call all of them my friends.

    So as I sat by my pond, getting ready to feed my friends, Rah of course was the first one that came over to me. I asked him “Do you have any wisdom to share with me today my friend?”
    Rah said: “Beauty cannot be seen unless you are ready to see it.”
    I asked: “Can’t that be said about anything?”
    Rah replied: “Ah yes, but with Beauty it is the most important of all. Beings cannot live without Beauty in their lives” he continued “You have to expect to see it, all the time, be excited to see it. For you never will know what Beauty will look like and if you think it should always look the same you will miss it”
    Then he paused and said “You have to expect it in your life but do not put conditions on
    HOW it should appear, that will take the enjoyment out of it.”

    Wise words from a wise being that I wanted to share with you.
    Thank you Rah.
