A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab 
traps & 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) & radioed for help.

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

They worked for hours with curved knives & 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, & 
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, & he will never be the same.


May you, & all those you love,be 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.


  

Its time for celebrations, HAPPY NEW YEAR 
 
Wishing you in advance a new year that ' s ....
          Sparkling with fun..
Bursting with joy
 
& Crackling with laughter..

                                                             
                             
           
 
                                                     
 
                                             

 
                         
Warm regards, Kunal
