The Back Story:
Dancing Spirits of The Sea
The dolphin’s streamlined shape is immediately familiar. The appeal of these playful creatures transcends time and place as icons of the sea in cultures around the world, from the Mediterranean to Oceania. Ancient tales of seagoing adventurers tell of the good luck the presence of dolphins was thought to bestow on sailors.
Why do people feel such a kinship with these intelligent animals? Is it their ability to move gracefully through the water – the giver of all life – with joy and abandonment as we would wish to do ourselves? Their antics entertain us; their facility for communication intrigues us. Perhaps we simply wish to have as much fun in our daily routines as they do in theirs.
