Ah, you're the first to notice that. One of the interest items that I don't expect I will ever share with anyone else unless they intentionally copy it from me. It actually comes from the same trip (to Indonesia) that wind over water and borobudur do. Probably the most spiritually intense two weeks in my life. In this case, in the lagoon of Komodo Island (yep, of dragon fame), whales followed our zodiac around for half an hour . . . the first ten minutes of which we in the raft didn't notice them! They were apparently just curious . . . but we first noticed them while I was in the water, trying (unsuccessfully) to waterski from the raft, and I noticed my raftmates pointing to the huge area of turbulent water about 50 yards from me. Which I first assumed was from sharks . . . they were close enough that, had I been able to see them through the water, I could have swum over and touched them, but I couldn't keep track of them between surfacings. Needless to say, I gave up on waterskiing at that point!

The spirituality of the trip was unexpected and unplanned for. It was a gift. The whales were part of it. I'm not sure how to explain the whole thing without a lot of words. Umm, I'll post something in MY journal soon rather than taking up lotsa room in yours! k? =) But, generally speaking, nosiness is welcome. I'm a bit of an exhibitionist, after all . . . ;D
