Signs of Life

The above picture is a fluke print.  If you know to look for it, it's the sign that a whale was recently in the area.  It is like a footprint, and it's left by the powerful upstroke of a whale's tail when it is near the surface.  A little circle of calm water in an ocean of waves and swells.  It's a sign that something really big is nearby.  It's a sign of life.
I love that calm can mean life.  I love that calm can mean something amazing is nearby.  Signs of life don't have to be craziness and chaos.  Quiet, calm, powerful, majestic life.  That's what I want.
