Backstory: A year ago my brother sent me an article about whales doing something cool and the first thing I thought was, “thank you for thinking of me.”
I love when people reach out with videos and news articles about stuff that remind them of me. Even strangers send me insightful articles about art and nature and honestly, I’m just grateful I was a passing thought that reached your conscious mind. A thought strong enough to get you to reach out to me.
I try my best to reach out. After a few tough weeks I’m getting my groove back and now have the energy to do so.
This is my way of doing it.
This piece is about Kelping, an amazing phenomenon happening where whales use untethered seaweed floating in the ocean as a means of exfoliation, playtime, and connection with other whales. We’re not really sure exactly why they do that and make silly little seaweed hats, but a study done in Australia proved that at least four different species of whale interact with seaweed in a positive, playful way.
Once again, observing nature proves that there is still so much to learn, all the time. We’re not the only species evolving. Every living thing around us is doing the same thing. That’s a really incredible thought and feeling. One that proves we’re not truly experiencing life alone.
