The Power of Dancing Dolphins with Nikki Duncan

 The Power of Dancing Dolphins

with

Nikki Duncan

I seldom have visitors on Friday…it takes a special person to roust me from my writing routine. But when  I learned Nikki was available today, I didn’t hesitate. She’s a multi-published author, a chapter mate, and friend.  Nikki, you’re at the helm today!

Have you ever sat through a dolphin show at a zoo or amusement park? Did you marvel at their strength as they moved through the water? Leaping. Diving. Splashing. Dancing.

They become one with the water that surrounds them. They form connections with each other and the people around them. Connections you can feel even as you sit in the stands or stand in a dome and watch them move.

This is the dome at the Indianapolis Zoo I visited with my editor and children on the research trip for Her Miracle Man. The moment I stepped inside the book’s opening snapped into my mind fully formed. Like every child stepping into the place I wanted to place my hand against the glass to see if possibly a dolphin would come see me. I’m not sure why I didn’t do it. On one hand, I think I’d have felt more a part of their underwater world. On the other, I think I preferred the distance of behind closed in a glass dome as I watched the dolphins dance without me.

Those connections and the thoughts of being a part of the world and staying secluded become big parts of the story. With the power of dancing dolphins leading the way, the characters in Her Miracle Man truly went full circle together.

What have you experienced that’s become symbolic?
