Mirthquake World

Cetaceans are the Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises. These wondrous mammals have swum our planet’s Oceans for some 50 million years. Cetaceans were at home in Planet Water before we renamed it Planet Earth. A global phenomenon of ancient stories, myths and legends relate a remarkable interspecies love affair between Man and Cetacean, a continuous cultural, mystical and spiritual promise since our beginning. From a time before memory to this very moment, there has been a profound connection between humans and Cetaceans, a mysterious and much celebrated bond, likely fundamental to our and the world’s continued existence. Within these myths, legends and history of mankind runs a recurring theme- from time to time, at certain crucial turning points in our cosmic odyssey to self-awareness, there has occurred a cyclical and remarkable communion with these beings of the seas. Whenever this has happened, the resulting spark of inspiration has illuminated the ensuing phase of the civilising process, only to fade gradually from conscious memory, blending with the chatter of myriad other myths and legends - until the next time - now - as Cetaceans again present themselves to assist us. This record of our inspiriting communion with cetaceans, contact between the two great intelligent mammalian races sharing this unique blue speck, deeply encoded in myth, legend, art and anecdote, poetry and literature has been handed down for countless generations. Creation stories of many ancient peoples tell how Humans were once born of Whales or Dolphins. Whales and dolphins are the ancestors of the ancestors and are revered the world over. Cetaceans have forever sung, and still sing the songs of our Planet Water.
