And I saw that it was holy.”

“When a poet writes a poem, meaning arises - because the poet is not alone; he has created something. When a dancer dances, meaning arises. When a mother gives birth to a child, meaning arises.

The same could be said of each passing whale.”

So I preached a sermon in the blessing I gave.

For humanity's sake, Amen.”
