Whales

To understand whales is to understand the depths of our own souls.

David Attenborough

Growing up, I dreamed of being a marine biologist.

The beauty of the ocean and the mystery of the life that lies beneath the surface were enchanting.

In true “Road Not Taken by Robert Frost” fashion, I chose another career that is a calling and bolsters my soul. Still, I long to be on the water and snorkel along island shores.

I love all the animals of the sea, but whales are majestic in the same way elephants glide over the land.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, a sharp increase in deaths of grey whales is heart breaking.
