This Jerry, for you that know me: I do not pass chain
letters on when told to do so as I am not a Pavlovian
Dog. But, this story is a good one. Enjoy.
The Whale
If you read the front page story of the SF
Chronicle,you would have read about a female humpback
whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab
traps and lines.
She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps
that caused
her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds
of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her
tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the
FarraloneIslands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed
an environmental group for help.
Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and
determined that she was so bad off, the only way to
save her was to dive in and untangle her … a very
dangerous proposition.
One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives and
eventually freed her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what
seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to
each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them,
pushed gently around-she thanked them. Some said it
was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their
lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye
was
following him the whole time, and he will never be the
same.
May you, and all those you love,
be so blessed and fortunate …
to be surrounded by people
who will help you get untangled
from the things that are binding you.
And, may you always know the joy
of giving and receiving gratitude.
I pass this on to you, my friend, in the same spirit.
