Living a mindful day.

Today is not yet started. It is still dark and silent. Kitchens are not filled with housewives. Birds are still sleeping in nests. The sun is barely visible in the sky.

Moby Dick chapter 55: Of monstrous pictures of Whales.

Moby Dick is all about whales and whaling and everything else. If you find anything connected to a whale you will find some mentioning in the Moby Dick. Consider it to a dictionary on whaling.
