The great whale passes overhead, crystalised in a shoal of dolphins, sharks, fish, rays, and turtles. They arc in a great procession over the reef. They all know the old whale’s time is up, they are here to carry him into the next world. When he takes his last breath and falls to the bottom of the reef, a whole new world forms. A place made by him, of him. Thus, death becomes life.
