My partner took me on a humpback whale watching excursion a few years ago. We always seemed to miss them on our travels. They were arriving as we were leaving, or, they were leaving just as we arrived. Always ships passing in the night. So, I was very excited about this trip.

Days before, I meditated and pictured the whales, and telepathically asked for one to come and say hello. That day, unfortunately, the whale watching was dismal. Any sightings were brief breaches far away. I was on one side of the boat by myself, just looking out over the water and giving up inside, when the guide came over excitedly to pull me to the other side of the boat. “Come. Come now.”

As I reached the other side, a whale slowly and gently surfaced right beside the boat, looked at us, and gave his best whale hello. Was it for me? I like to think so. 🙂

Everything is connected. Never doubt it.

Whale

Our telepathy
meets in a monumental
hello of two hearts.

I call, you come, and
brush gently against the boat,
crooning your love song.

Pausing a moment,
is that a wink I detect?
You flirt, then farewell!

Will you invite me
to frolic in frothing waves?
Besotted, I wait.
