Ironically, some agencies in Hawaii are trying to discourage humans from interacting with dolphins, and are trying to establish regulations and prohibitions. This, of course, sounds like a correct approach, but many dolphin lovers on the islands fear too much intervention. The dolphins teach us to honor the place in ourselves where the entire universe dwells. When we honor that in each other, we are one. They have come to view their contact with the dolphins as a kind of spiritual ministry.
Dolphins are certainly an enigma, and they are intelligent and self-aware.
