This experience was the single most beautiful animal interaction I've ever participated in. It wasn't staged, there were no kisses, dorsal tows, wagging tails, or "paw-glass-hand"'s. It was simply a dolphin stopping to play with a toy I had of its own choice. The entire encounter lasted about 3 minutes total, but it was the most surreal, touching moments of my life. The emotion I felt was "too deep for tears;" it was as close to happy tears as I've ever been since my spirit buzzed right through that emotion. I've never been so in touch with my spirit in my entire life. I found my self laughing for sheer joy and incredulousness. I refuse to use the word magical to describe this experience, since magic implies illusion and something that is unattainable in this world and borne completely of fantasy. This wasn't too good to be true; it happened, it was 100% real. I feel that to use anything that suggests the impossibility of this occurrence degrades it. This type of wonder is possible in our beautiful world. I feel so blessed to have experienced something like this. If anyone can ID this dolphin, it would mean so much to me!
