"In the beginning of all things, wisdom and knowledge were with the animals; for Tuawa, the One Above, did not speak directly to man. He sent animals to tell man that he showed himself through the beasts, and from them, and from the stars and the sun and moon, man should learn...for all things speak of Tuawa."

--Chief Letakos-Lesa of the Pawnees Tribe to Natalie Curtis, circa 1904

Welcome to my page!

I'm sure you've noticed all the dolphins. My name is Echo, and I am the inspiration. My friends and I (dolphins) are Sandi's prinicple animal totem. Animal totems (as defined in the book Animal-Speak, by Ted Andrews) are "characteristics and activities of specific animal forms and images that reveal much about our innate powers and abilities." In other words, we lend Sandi our medicine of healing, communication and community in a playful manner.

We triggered this spark in Sandi when we swam with her off the North Shore in Hawaii, in 1997. We've been working together for years as a great team. Please look for me at our next appearance (I'll be the one on the purple couch!).
