In Spring and early Summer the Right whales feed just off the beaches in Provincetown.
You can spend an afternoon with them,
watching and listening to their unusual sounds,
receiving the blessings freely offered.
The ancient whales have observed human evolution for millenium,
and know things that we can only guess at.
Although we might be a bit of a dissapointment to them,
they seem always to bless us and raise our spirits,
teasing us to higher ground.
