indescribable, really... though a very strange thing happened to me within hours after doing so. By that time, I was back in the motel room where I was staying and had lain down for a nap. I closed my eyes and 'saw' the ocean, closer to shore, awash with all kinds of plastic debris, so much that there was no space between any of it; it was like some horrifying deadly quilt, and a sort of a message - ? - came with it which was that the waters were already past the point of danger to the life in them.
I then 'awoke' with a start, sitting bolt upright in the bed, with a kind of WTF feeling.
I felt, when my head cleared, as if, for reasons unknown to me, I'd been given "a message" but I knew no one would ever believe it. I'm in my 70's now and frankly don't give a damn and whenI read your reaction/feelings in response to having been 'seen' by a whale, that memory came back hard and with an air of validation.
Much appreciated.
