Dolphn Muse Thursday - RETURN TO THE SEA



Dolphin Muse

We came from the sea, and return to the sea eventually,
reintegrate, evaporate, or swim to that farther shore.

People
I found this 1980 article about Thomas Mann's daughter, Elisabeth Borgese, her relationship to marine life and attempts at aqua-culture (might offend vegetarians, but, is none the less, illuminating).
"Since 1963 Borgese has restricted her own diet to vegetables (one favorite snack is a kind of seaweed parmigiana) and, of course, fish. With the Atlantic at her doorstep, she sails, swims and snorkels—"I love it, but I always drink half the ocean."

Escape
Dolphins escape attempt is, no doubt, not an isolated incident.  Nothing is content in captivity.  Even a domesticated cat will wander off,
wild reverted,  given certain circumstances.

Rescue
If stranded, or beached, look to a dolphin for your help in need
(there is a brief, mostly inoffensive, commercial at the head of this short video about a dolphin rescuer)


Romance
The maker admits "I composed this video about a friendship between a dolphin and a dog with clips from the movies: "Zeus and Roxanne" 1992, mixed with some pieces of "Spinner Dolphins", and added Vangelis soundtrack.  Zeus, the pooch, and Roxanne, the dolphin, are able to communicate with one another. The dog is a Portuguese Podengo.
They traveled everywhere with the Portuguese, they even sailed on the ships of Christopher Columbus."

You are so faithful, with all you have to do too! What a dynamo you are dear Deanna. I'm so happy you find what I post interesting. My followers have disappeared, and Judy said the same is happening to her, and when I go to blogger help it doesn't help. Pfooey!
