We had a similar thing happen here on the Delaware River last April. A lovely Beluga whale came down the River and had a ton of fun dining on local shad, which were in season. Eventually, he went back to sea.

You live along the Delaware?  Cool.  I grew up in Wilmington DE.

But I don't remember hearing of whales coming upriver -- not that I was especially interested in animals at the time.

I like your essay about whales.  I went whale watching in Bar Harbor too, last fall -- several coincidences here.  I thought the whales were very calm.  I was a bit seasick before we sighted the whales, but didn't feel seasick while we were near them.  They just hung around and finally we left because we had spent enough time there.  Once we left them, the uneasy stomach returned.  The whales sure don't avoid the boats, maybe they make a point of visiting in fact.

I noticed in the news today that a whale has been swimming down the Thames and just went by Parliament.  I hope he's just having a look around and doesn't end up beaching himself.

At the time I wrote this small piece about whales and whale consciousness.

Many years ago while on an excuursion to the local aquatic animal park, I locked eyes with a whale stuck in one of those "jails". It was an awesome and powerful experience to say the least.  The whale's eyes were so compeling, wise, and forgiving.  I could not help the tears falling from my eyes, wondering how this wonderful creature managed to endure its confinement. To this day these so called "parks" or jails are a definite no-no to ever visit again.  It's just too painful. 

Silverfox mentioned a book by Ted Andrews on animal  totem's(Animal Speak), (got the book a few mo's ago Silverfox    The author states that whales have an ancient knowledge of how to use the creative force of breath for a variety of purposes.  It also mentions taking a look at examining a look on your use of creativity(or lack of use). 

Vodoo, the inquiry about dolphins (according to this book, and other's I have read as well) generally include them as well.

On 24 June 2000, Laura was channelling the C's and described a letter someone wrote, saying that the Andromedans claimed that 4th density was where everyone joins a single consciousness.  (It was just the way the C's had described whale consciousness before).  The letter gave the Andromedans' description of the whole system of existence, which differed in some ways from the Cs' description.  The A's said there are 12 levels now becoming 13, for example, instead of 7.

The Cs' response to this whole question was "No comment."  Later on they said that Laura was giving them a hard time.

So I wonder what the story is with whales ... there seems to be something special about them.
