For a mind in the waters, constantly wandering, what does home mean?
Most mammals have a den, a hole, a roof... They build a wall. Humbpacks are always migrating through moving expanses scarcely imaginable to two leggeds, whom seek the comfort of personal shelter.
They must always be aware of the vast dimension of the mediums through which they wander. The Stellwagen Bank, the rich waters where Humpbacks feed off the Cape Cod are considered shallow for the ocean at 300 ft.
Above, the realm of air and sky, another vast space into which the whales sometimes hurl their massive bodies. They are the ultimate migrants, planetary citizens, at home in their own skin. When Humpback whales sleep, they turn off half their brain and float.
One can wonder what home means to them?

After reading your narrative, I noticed I have something in common with the Humpback... its not when I go to sleep but rather half of my brain is always turned off and I may or may not be floating. lol.
