I have to share an experience I had yesterday after reading this. My daughter took me to Whidbey Island, a place that people go to see whales, for a Mothers day road trip. We had lunch at a cafe where we saw an orca skeleton hung from the ceiling. Then we drove to Deception Pass and sat on the beach a little while. I looked up into a perfect blue sky and saw a solitary cloud that was shaped just like an orca with a fin uplifted. It reminded both of us of the segment in Fantasia 2000 where the whales were flying. We watched it awhile, then both of us woulhad the thought that we'd better go. We got back to the car just in time to avert being towed because we didn't see the sign that we had to pay to park. With both of our purses and phones left in the car, it would have been, in my daughter's words, "The worst Mothers Day ever."

Anyway, seeing an orca floating in the sky was a great illustration of the part of this message about leaving the divers suit behind.
