“The whales do not sing because they have an answer, they sing because they have a song.”- GC

Three days ago, a ferry boat to the island I was born and raised on struck a whale. Despite numerous warnings from a whale watching vessel that they were in a direct line of a juvenile male and partner humpback whale, they made no effort to alter their course and denied later even being aware of the magnificent creature.
.
The whale watching vessel observed the one that was struck struggling at the surface for 20 minutes, clearly disoriented and with massive injuries. His partner watched him through the entire struggle, and was later seen that evening, alone, just off the shore of Whidbey Island.
.
Yesterday, they confirmed the young whale died.
I can’t tell you how heartbroken I am about this. I can tell you I tried to study roses during my time at the easel yesterday and this is the only thing I could think about.

“We owe it to our children to be better stewards of the environment. The alternative? - a world without whales. It's too terrible to imagine.”PB

We are doing a fine f!cking job, here. The world is being totaled.
