Wild Ocean

This weekend I watched a positive, upbeat IMAX film called Wild Ocean.  It's a documentary that follows the sardines as they migrate along the KwaZulu-Natal Coast.  Sardines and predators fight to survive.  The live action sequences were accompanied by rhythmic beats from native drums.  I carried a towel in my purse just in case this movie turned out to be a tear jerker. You never know.  They might have shot all the dolphins in the back and then laughed about it.  I bet the director is a man and it is unwise to invest a lot of hope in men. (my humble opinion) So, I expected the worst, but was delighted when it ended up being uplifting and full of hope.  I have so much respect and admiration for dolphins.  Animals are so much more in touch with their instincts than us humans.  No wonder when these unfortunate natural circumstances occur like drought, hurricanes, earthquakes.. animals see it coming before we do.  They live 100% in the now.  We live 60% in our head, 20% texting and 20% on Facebook.  The urgent current of instinct flows and the dolphins follow it.  What a harsh and yet exciting existence.  If I spoke the language of the dolphin I might even ask one... “Do you believe in inter-species dating?  I know I’m not tan.  I’m fair skinned.  I realize that I can’t swim... I’m afraid I’ll drown, but I would still like to get to know you Mr. Dolphin.  What was your name again?”  See, I just proved my point.  I’m in my head, not focused on the here and now.  To the other humans that read this post, I would say to you goodluck, and goodbye.
