The Whale
If you read a recent front page story of the San Francisco 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 and a line tugging
In her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (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. 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 them gently around as she was thanking them. Some said it was the most
Incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her
Mouth said her eyes were 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 friends, in the same spirit.
