Sunday morning there was a wonderful sunrise. It was missed by most people since it was early and lasted only for a few minutes. The deep pink edge of the sky was a color and richness only nature can produce. Sunday was also depressing with the news that over a hundred dolphins had beached themselves of the coast of Mexico. Most died. We have no idea why dolphins and whales do this. Many reasons have been suggested, maybe we need to consider the thought that they are staging a protest. The ultimate protest of dying to make a point. Dolphins are very intelligent creatures, maybe they are getting tired of man using their home, the sea, as a garbage dump. We dump raw sewage, oil from tankers, waste and who knows what else into the sea every hour of the day. At some point this mindless action has to trigger a reaction. Maybe the dolphins and whales are trying to warn us of the impending issues from our actions. It may be time to pay attention to their warning.
