They loaded up their outrigger/canoes and drifted out upon the running currents between the Islands , that coursed like rivers in the sea .
From one island to another following the stars ...part seeker , part child running away from home , an adventurer opportunist looking for Shangri la in the sun.
Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. ~Twyla Tharp~
And in the morning , 10,000 ,30,000 yrs ago on their tiny little crafts in the middle of that vast expanse , there were also the dolphins who playfully helped lead them on . Till finally to land on Hawaii , the farthest of the havens from the continents with their discontents.
Is the dog man's best friend ? Funny thing dolphins were once doglike creatures that returned to the sea ,ancient cousins to "Bubbles" who played by the oceans and grew fins and streamlined bodies , and took to roaming and roaming a field in the waters of the oceans....
Like man they were part seekers , part children running away from home ...to the sea that was all life's first home...and funny they were always there faithfully and playfully even in the sea, to help us on our own migrations ....
....when you look at Bubbles think of how he might have been a little porpoise dancing on the waves beside an outrigger helping men to find their island Shangri La's, in one of his past lives ...
( I know you like him as the furry little guy he is now )
