Dolphin Dreams


Since I've re-christened this space "Dolphin Dreams," it makes sense the first post is dedicated to the inspiration for the name, the Miami Dolphins.

It is no secret that I am a rabid Dolphins fan. For over 30 years, my autumns have been dominated by the on field exploits of this team. In some ways, they have been the most consistent source of enjoyment for me.

However, this space is not a fan site devoted to them. They may appear on occasion, but the focus is on the second half of the name. The dreams.

This is a place I want to explore some of my thoughts, both random and calculated. I often feel like a being that should be in a different world. Making sense of that feeling is what inspired me to open this space. I relate to dolphins because they are mammals that live in a world designed for fish. However, taking a closer look at the dolphin, it is obvious they are in the right world. Their body shape, their breathing apparatus, and their sonar (echo location) are perfectly suited for aquatic life. They are where they belong.

Despite my past resistance and objections, it became increasingly clear that a blog space is something I should have. I am a Leo and as much as it pains me to admit this, I need my own private stage... spotlight and all! Just as a dolphin belongs in the water, a part of me needs to be here. So thus this little dream begins....

  • -shim, glad you finally (re-) took the plunge! You know the discussions we had, so I can relate to your metaphors... Where we belong is definitely about choices as much as it is based on how we feel about making them. As you embrace the fact that you belong in the water, just remember to come up for air every once in a while!

    Looking forward to your insights and observations :)
