it is undeniable...
there is something magical about the dolphin
when seen from the shore... people respond
on the beaches crowds of people drop what the are doing and direct their attention to the dolphins in the distance
the topic of conversations change
books are put down
the camera lenses move from small children to the fins cresting the waves in the distance
people young and old look on in awe
to catch a glimpse of the dolphin's fin brings about emotion and curiosity
people are drawn to the dolphin
if the dolphin jumps and leaves the water it is a special treat
when in a boat and the dolphin swims in the boat's wake the people on the boat feels a bond
as if the dolphin is playing with them
as if the dolphin wants to connect with them
on sight people want to make contact with the dolphins
they want to interact with the dolphins
I have run along the shore and watched as the dolphin has watched me
and of course... I have tried to jump in the water to try and make contact
I have never grown tired of the dolphins
never have I witnessed a person shrug their shoulders and say... oh... it is just a dolphin
there is a simple goodness to the dolphin
this defenseless animal needs to be protected
