+--------Destiny Diving; The Thoughts Of Jonah In The  Belly Of The Whale 

There are no candles no paeans sitting
here just groans; the cognizance
of the inevitability of fate as the dark
and dank, uninviting bowels of a
crazed whale plunge. The steady rhythm
breathing of regret, acceptance seesaw-
ing on a fish’s tongue twenty thousand
leagues under the sea, my arms wrapped
around knees bent: musing that somehow
Nineveh was destined for me, always.

------Jonah 1:11-17
The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?” “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.” Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.” Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him. Now the Lord provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
