• Whales have become newly symbolic of real values in a world environment of which man is newly aware. Whales live in families, they play in the moonlight, they talk to one another, and they care for one another in distress. They are awesome and mysterious.

"This is water." It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out.
