Getting ready to go to supper...spring 2008 (I'm on the far right)
I LOVED my time in San Ignacio, Mexico! I am very happy to have personally participated in supporting this wonderful international success story.
My visit to Laguna San Ignacio changed me. I usually don't wear sunglasses [Ed note: whales tend to approach people who are not wearing sunglasses] and one day while we waited for a mature gray whale to approach our boat, I was thrilled and awed to find her come right up to my side and she looked me in the eye and I was encouraged to overcome my fear and to touch her, gently, and I'll never forget the sense of understanding and boundary-passing love that I experienced with that being. Her skin felt like the fleshy, padded part of my palm under the thumb when my hand is relaxed.
I am changed: I love the world more and I love myself more. Thank you gray whale!
