Whales change people's lives. The experience is ultimately indescribable, but often upon meeting a whale, people realize something they had forgotten or never knew: our essential unity as members of a living planet and the wild joy of simply being alive. Along with this deep sense of unity comes a recognition of the imbalance we humans are creating in Earth's life support systems by thinking that we are somehow separate from everything else.

Few of us ever get to look a whale in they eye, so it becomes the job of people like me to try to convey that experience, and the vital message it transmits, to those who have never seen a whale. It is like being an ambassador from another world that has its own language, one that can not be translated into human speech.

On this site you will find educational programs devoted primarily to the whales and the oceans, music of a Celtic flavor that draws inspiration from land and sea, and the words through which I attempt to communicate what I have learned from observing the lives of the great whales, our own human lives, and the others who inhabit this Earth.

For me, meeting a whale for the first time was like looking in a mirror, and seeing myself in a form I could never have imagined. I invite you to take that look and be utterly surprised by who you really are.
