+----------A Whale's Angst Of 3 Nights; The Thoughts Of The Fish Who Swallowed Jonah

Of all creatures of the
sea, it is man who is the most
outspoken. Who even the most
vehement, violent waves
cant mollify- the boats more
stalwart and durable, wood stubborn,
resistant to each sinking; as metaphor.
For his arrogance of soul’s just as
indifferent to divine squalls. Shouting
obscenities of omnipotence
from the bow, promises to explore and
conquer the known world his way…
in his time.  And so this had to happen,
the angst of a whale to humble
expressed by swallowing- to let Jonah
know he is not God of the seas, of life.
To take time to stop. Listen. And obey.  

----------------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.
