The whale.  ....

This is a lovely story. love xxx  
Cora....

A female humpback whale had become entangled in a
spider web of crab traps and lines.....

She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of
traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of
yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging
in her mouth.....

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon
Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help.....

Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and
determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and
untangle her---a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a
rescuer.....

They worked for hours with curved knives and
eventually freed her.....

When she was free, the divers say she swam in what
seemed like joyous circles.....

She then came back to each and every diver, one at
a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them.....

Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful
experience of their lives.

  ....

 The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her
eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.....

 May you, and all those you love, be so
fortunate......

To be surrounded by people who will help you get
untangled from the things that are binding you.....

And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving
gratitude. I pass this on to you, my friends
