There is in this Whale, as in an erupting volcano or a solar storm or an avalanche, a kind of beauty and majesty that accompanies the terrifying danger and violence.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-86901690452751725722011-01-27T10:14:09.070-05:002011-01-27T10:14:09.070-05:00The whale is looking the other way.
