Heaven and hell
by Isha, onboard the Arctic Sunrise
This morning has been the worst morning of my life, undoubtedly. Cruel, heartless and cold blooded! The whalers after a long chase with our inflatable in its way...finally got the whale...took its life and will shamelessly sell it in a market for a fat price... While sailing here I knew we were in heaven. But now a living hell.
What is heaven, a place where all beings life in peace and harmony, and hell is where our desire rules over all life.
Here is the hell where we will mercilessly kill the gentlest giants in their homes while they take a walk perhaps. I wondered who else on this planet kills whales except people...no one...except maybe killer whales --but hey, that's the cycle -- How have we put our selves in that place? How do the Japanese whalers sleep at night? How do we rest knowing that this has to stop --NOW I was standing at the bow for over an hour watching them chase the whale 'till it was so tired it couldn't run anymore...couldn't think any more...probably didn't know what was happening. Innocence against greed... In our world how does greed get away with it...in the name of science -- Science, research such cold words Life, freedom --meaningless I want another world for all of us -- I want it now before more creatures are plundered -- I want the Japanese whaling fleet to go home now. This is my prayer... Om shanti Isha

In Maori there is an expression Kia kaha meaning stand strong.
These beautiful creatures of the ocean are in touch with the planet. They understand they are being senselessly slaughtered. They also understand that organisations like Greenpeace and people like yourself are working to save them.
The people back home and the whales that you will save from slaughter in the years to come are proud of you all.
