Two beautiful whales, a mother and baby, have been accompanying our boat for the past hour.
After a while, she begins to breach out of the water. With obvious pleasure and exuberance, she experiments with every type of leap into the air that she can do. Some of her leaps are high and straight, others are bent and wobbly as she falls with loud splashes.
Responding to our applause and cheers, she joyfully entertains us. Her determination and magnificence fill us with awe. And the hearts of all of us on our little boat are overflowing with love.
When the mother and little one stop, we slip quietly into the water. Mom floats over to us, bringing the baby.
I look into the eyes of the baby whale and she looks back at me. Her intelligence is vast. Her deep brown eyes shine with the Light of ancient wisdom - an old soul. Her stare is penetrating and yet friendly. She looks into my Being, perceives my essence and knows me very well. She is reading my vibrational frequency, feeling my love for her. Gazing at her, I see eyes that seem large for a baby whale. Folds of white skin around her unblinking brown eyes are giving her the appearance of wide-eyed wonder. This is how I am feeling. Maybe she feels the same way, as she looks at me through my snorkeling mask!
Swimming side by side, she moves slowly so I can easily accompany her. I feel relaxed and peaceful in her presence.
Mother whale, an impressive 55 feet in length, is just below us. Her powerful body flexes so smoothly that her movement above the shallow sandbank is almost imperceptible.
I hardly give her a glance as I remain in eye contact with her young one. Our group has named the little one "Fern" because of the leafy-feathered design on the underside of her fluke.
I can see she is a female as she begins to roll over. Instinctively I roll over also, mimicking her behavior. She has her right pectoral fin in the air pointing to the sky. I break eye contact turning onto my left side and lift my right arm out of the water, skyward. Slowly I roll all the way around until I am facing her again. I see that she did not roll all the way over. She has been looking at me the whole time, while swimming on her side, her white pec fin still in the air like a sail. I roll and swim sideways, again. This time I swim facing her. We are tummy to tummy, but she is fourteen feet long!
I easily stay with her as she swims forward, slowly. Now her head moves slightly downward and I sense that she is preparing to make a shallow dive. I dive with her. We gently move together, and though I am beneath the water's surface, I feel no need to breathe. She rolls beneath me, tummy up, with both white pectoral fins curled around me like a giant hug. All I can see is her soft underside, which shines brilliantly white in the royal blue water. She is so long and so close that I cannot see where her body ends! Carefully unfurling her pec fins she slowly rolls upright again.
She is beautiful. So perfect a little Humpback whale. . . . No barnacles, as yet. She does have some long superficial scratches on her gray back. I wonder where they came from. Her underside is white beneath the mouth and along the pleats of her lower jaw. Her skin becomes dark gray around the belly button continuing to the tail shank. Her hemispherical lobes, her female vulva, are white.
We surface and breathe quietly together. I know how to swim like a whale. It is similar to dolphin swimming. And I sense that Fern recognizes the dolphin in me. We are ocean friends. The Love between us fills my heart and soul. It is a profound communication that we are sharing. To have this special experience with another species in a different environment than terra firma fills me with awe and appreciation.
As her mother comes to join us, I see the other pod members of my human group. They are also in the water, floating and swimming. Aware of them behind me I feel warmth in my heart for these wonderful people who love whales and dolphins. These are very special people who hear the call of the whales and choose to respond. They understand that cetaceans want to make contact with the human race.
Most of you who are reading this, have felt the call of the dolphins
and whales. Not everyone can meet them in the ocean, and yet I
highly recommend it whenever it is possible. It
is in the water that the messages, the frequencies, the tonal
resonances of the whales and dolphins travel more powerfully into
our consciousness, into our cells, and into our minds and hearts.
The whales have said that a meeting of our minds occurs at the
place where air and water meet, - they choose to meet us there.
On this website I will share some of the whales' stories and messages to humanity. They know what is happening on the planet. They are actors in the Grand Plan. They are not victims. They have the largest brains on planet Earth and they are in control of their destiny. Deep changes in the collective and cosmic consciousness are created by our views of reality. The whales are assisting us to create a reality of Peace and Beauty on planet Earth. Please join us as we communicate and swim with these wise elders, the Humpback Whales.
