The Dolphin Law: A Short Story

By Linda Collister

The Dolphin Law is a mythology. It tells the story of the bonding of a woman and a dolphin mother in time of crisis. It is about a mothers love and the willingness to do whatever is needed to protect her child. It is a short story that is a gripping adventure for young children, a lesson to teens about what it means to grow up, and a call to all humans to accept our responsibility to care for our magnificent oceans and all sea life that composes three fourths of the surface of our planet. We are definitely not alone and it will take all of us to survive. The question is - Are dolphins the humans of the sea, or are humans the dolphins of the land? As the old Hawaiian greeting says, Aloha, May we share the breath of love and welcome.

Linda Collister

Linda Collister was a spiritual adventurer. Wherever she went in her life she keenly observed how ultimately we are all bound together. This was especially true when it came to her spending time with her beloved dolphins. Dolphins were Linda’s personal totem. Whenever she was on the ocean they came to her or she was drawn to them. Dolphins were with her while she was captaining her professional dive boat, cruising the Caribbean with her family, sailing on the California coast, observing dolphin life in Midway, or swimming with the wild dolphin on Lanai, Hawaii. She witnessed that dolphin family and human family had many similarities. They are both founded in mutual trust, compassion, dignity and respect, ultimate personal responsibility, forgiveness and love. These were the personal principles she lived in her life. In writing the Dolphin Law she hoped to pass on her life experience not only to her children and grandchildren but to children and adults seeking to find the purpose and meaning of their lives everywhere. The Dolphin Law was her last gift. Six weeks after completing the main draft she was taken from life and now swims with her dolphin family. This is her legacy.
