Status Updates From Thousand Mile Song: Whale M...

“A thousand mile song—the scale of it defies comprehension. Great whales, with their huge brains and slow metabolism, have an experience of life nearly impossible to fathom. After centuries of thinking whales as little more than oil, meat, and blubber, we now see them as icons for saving and cherishing of the Earth, reminders that nature will always remain more than we can ever understand.”

“We would never have been inspired to try and save the whale without being touched by its song.”

I feel I should have the CD of the whale’s songs in the background as I read this book. So beautiful. I’d like to think I can get through life without ever needing anything from a whale except to see it in the wild. Same with elephants.
