Emissaries

Book Illustration

 

When I see dolphins doing what they do, things like riding the bow wakes of boats, I see  highly intelligent and curious beings, they are riding along with the boat showing us how amazing they are and wanting to find kinship with the other sentient beings on the boat.

I am sure that they have been deeply confused for centuries by the reception that they got from humans, but they patently continue to try to reach out to us.

This painting illustrates one of the first humans who gets it, who embraces the dolphin as a sentient "Emissary" .
