Hello Hoomans
It’s me, the whale, the great singer of the deep, carrier of stories, professional long-distance swimmer and occasional reminder that the world is much bigger than your to-do list.
Since it’s World Whale Day, I rose from the depths to offer a little whale wisdom. I don’t come up often so when I do, it’s usually worth listening. Here’s what I’d like you to remember:
• You don’t have to be loud to be heard.
My songs travel for hundreds of miles through the ocean. They’re slow, deep and intentional. Choose your words with care. Depth lasts longer than noise.
• Carry your history but don’t let it sink you.
I remember migration routes older than your cities. Memory can guide you forward, not weigh you down. Honour where you’ve been, then keep moving.
• Breathe fully, even if it means coming to the surface.
I can dive deep, but I always return for air. Rest isn’t weakness, it’s survival. Step away when you need to. The world will wait.
• Move together when you can.
We travel in pods for a reason. Community protects, teaches and comforts. You’re not meant to navigate everything alone. Reach out, swim alongside others.
• Take care of the ocean because it holds everything.
The sea carries your plastics, your noise, your heat - and it carries me too. When you protect it, you protect life far beyond what you can see.
Remember this, hoomans: You are small in the best possible way, part of something vast, connected and alive. Let that humble you, not frighten you.
I’ll be heading back to the deep now. Listen closely, you might still hear my song long after I’m gone.
With tidal calm and ancient love,
🐋 The Whale
Happy World Whale Day, hoomans. Slow down. Breathe deep. And take care of what carries us all.
