    It all began in a fairy-tale land by the sea. It is a love story that has resonated across the ages, with many odd twists and turns. There was once a lovely young woman who lived in a land by the sea, where the humanoids had gills and were able to both swim in the water and walk on the land. There was once a handsome young bottlenose dolphin that was master of his domains, both the sea and the etheric consciousness to which his species had a clear connection.

     They met by chance and destiny one day while both were frolicking in the waves of the warm, clear turquoise water. Fascinated by their differences, as well as their similarities, they became the closest of friends and would swim and play and talk and share for hours. The beautiful coral reefs and flowing grasses were their playground and the colorful sea creatures smiled to see their happiness. He called her Marni, or Earth Angel and she called him Palani, or Sea Angel.

     As time passed and they grew older, life got more complicated. Marni’s family told her that sea dwelling was only for the very young, and with maturity came responsibility. Societal dictates said that she needed to attend school, develop her abilities, find a mate and form a family unit…on land. Her gills would gradually recede and the sea would be visited only for brief holidays.

     Meanwhile, Palani’s pod was reminding him that he needed to learn the skills of the dolphin, develop his abilities, find a mate and form a family unit…in the sea. He would occasionally be able to see the humanoids on the beach and could wave and sing to them.

     Marni and Palani refused to listen to their communities and continued to spend their time together. With the threat of separation came the realization that they were more than friends…they were soul mates and, despite their different bodies, their spirits belonged together.

     There were many attempts, by both species, to discourage their connection. The humanoids threatened ostracism, pleaded, ordered, laid guilt and blame and tried to catch Palani in their fishing nets. Marni learned of their plan and cut the nets. The dolphins threatened ostracism, pleaded, ordered, laid guilt and blame and tried to have Marni eaten by a shark. Palani learned of their plan and fought off the shark.

     Finally, both sides gave up, judging and dismissing them as being a bit odd and eccentric…the stuff legends are made of. Their many years together were peaceful, harmonious, spiritual and loving. No one was ever happier. They knew and accepted that Palani’s species was not as long lived as Marni’s, and as they prepared for his passing, they vowed to reconnect their souls. Marni asked, “How will I know you?” and Palani replied, “I will whisper ‘you knew me’.”
