The World’s Loneliest Whale Sings the Loudest Song
I won’t make metaphors out of fish.
If I have to die, I choose the ocean.
If I have to live, I choose you.
You: Everyone I’ve ever mourned.
I believe less & less of sunlight these days.
I won’t die alone.
To awaken crying is to awaken displaced.
Ghost of your joy in the bathtub.
A face in the mirror.
Your nephew’s painting in the foyer.
My mother cried in bedrooms growing up.
I would study her for hours. In a study,
researchers learned patients who cried less
are likely to have dismissive attachment styles.
Today, every bedroom in the house is mine.
I stopped crying at age 12.
As a child, I spoke a language no one
understood.
Research suggests loneliness increases
cardiovascular disease.
When my cousin died, she died alone.
When the world collapsed around Darwish,
he wrote of coffee and sex.
When you held my body close to yours,
I thought of clementines, sweet citrus,
all the world’s lemons we’d temper with
honey.
The world’s loneliest whale sings the loudest
song.
This is what you’ll tell me the first time we
meet.
And I’ll think about the ocean.
And I’ll think about you.
I never learned how to swim.
I’ve been drowning my whole life.
Studies suggest drowning lasts 1-3 minutes.
But I’ll never stop grieving.
Scientists are still searching for the 52-hertz
whale.
But I swear he’s here.
In my bedroom.
And I can hear him.
And he’s telling me I can stop.

REALLY IMPORTANT PSA
THE 52 HERTZ WHALE HAS A FRIEND.
HE IS NOT THE LONELIEST WHALE IN THE WORLD.
MARINE SCIENTISTS HEARD TWO 52 HERTZ CALLS WITHIN TEN MINUTES OF ONE ANOTHER OFF THE COAST OF CALIFORNIA.
I REPEAT: HE HAS A FRIEND. SOMEONE CALLED BACK.

Its calls didn't overlap with any other whales. It spoke in a mixed dialect, reminiscent of blue and fin whales, but it was talking to neither of them.

The Loneliest Whale
Tumblr media
In the vast expanse of the world's oceans, where countless species roam, one particular creature stands out—a symbol of solitude and yearning. This extraordinary creature, known as "the loneliest whale," has captivated the hearts and imaginations of scientists, filmmakers, and nature enthusiasts alike. In this blog post, we will delve into the captivating story of the loneliest whale, exploring its mysterious existence, the science behind its unique communication, and the profound lessons it teaches us about loneliness and connection.
The Tale of the Loneliest Whale:
The loneliest whale first gained attention in the late 1980s when scientists discovered its distinct vocalizations. Unlike most whales, which communicate within a frequency range of 12 to 25 hertz, this enigmatic creature emits calls at a frequency of around 52 hertz. This frequency is much higher than the typical range of other whale species, making it difficult for them to hear its calls.
Tumblr media
The Isolation and Mystery:
The loneliest whale's isolation stems from its inability to communicate effectively with other whales. While most whales rely on vocalizations to find mates and socialize, the higher frequency of the 52-Hertz Whale's calls prevents it from effectively communicating with its counterparts. As a result, it has been swimming through the vast ocean alone, seemingly condemned to a solitary existence.
The exact reason for the loneliest whale's unique vocalizations remains a mystery. Some theories suggest that it may be a genetic anomaly or a result of a physical deformity. Others propose that it could be a hybrid between different whale species or a solitary individual with its own unique dialect. However, no concrete answers have emerged, leaving room for speculation and wonder.
Lessons from the Loneliest Whale:
The story of the loneliest whale evokes a sense of empathy and contemplation within me. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of connection and the profound impact of loneliness on living beings. As humans, we can empathize with the yearning for companionship and the inherent need for social bonds.
The loneliest whale's plight compels us to reflect on our own lives and the connections we foster. It reminds us to cherish and nurture the relationships we have, to reach out to those who may feel isolated, and to work towards a world where no one is left unheard or unseen.
The loneliest whale's tale is one of mystery, solitude, and longing. Its haunting calls reverberate through the depths of the ocean, capturing our imaginations and reminding us of the power of connection. While the loneliest whale may swim alone, its story unites us in a shared appreciation for the beauty and fragility of life. And with that, I’m going to cry. Stay With Wonder!
