Hi,
This reminds me of a brief moment i had with a dolphin.

I don’t go to aquariums, zoos or the circus anymore but if you still go to the aquarium and don’t mind people looking at you in a weird way…stand close to the dolphin tank, close your eyes and attempt to communicate with the dolphin/s.
Don’t be surprise if you open your eyes and find one staring right at you. I’ve done this before and felt an extreme sadness. The confined environment stresses them and makes them sad…as well as the other sea creatures there. If it wasn’t for the on lookers making me feel a bit uncomfortable I would have stayed longer mind melting with this magnificent being. Instead, I left and never returned. It’s just too sad, particularly knowing that these caged animals are mainly there for our viewing enjoyment.

Peace
