Standing together, listening to difficult truths Annual General Meetings have the reputation of being rather dry events, but not this one! Difficult conversations were on the table as the skill of listening to each other took precedence over personal opinions, Sheila Flood Nov 27, 2024 3:54 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message Listen to this article 00:04:47 Annual General Meetings have the reputation of being rather dry events, but not this one! About 30 showed up at the Victoria Multifaith Society’s Annual General Meeting on November 24th for photos and highlights of the year , and were held in rapt attention by keynote speaker Hanan Abousaleh, who had told us in advance that she wasn’t going to pull any punches. Hanan told the story of her journey this past year as a young Muslim woman who found herself in the role of community organizer of the Palestine solidarity rallies when the October 2023 massacre led a brutal occupation to become an even more brutal war on Gaza. As the emcee of the rallies for several months, her approach was simple: welcome people to the rally; give an overview of the past week; introduce presenters; lead a march. This has happened every weekend for the past 59 weeks and counting. Hanan is driven by the struggle for human rights. She described some of the abuse and intimidation she and fellow activists have faced, but she remains steadfast in her commitment to the liberation and equality of all people as one family. Hanan credits her faith for giving her hope and courage through this very long and intense ordeal of reporting each weekend on massacre after massacre. As an example, she cited the teachings inscribed on the sword of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): “Maintain relations with those who cut you off, speak the truth even if it is against yourself, and be good to one who is evil to you.” The teaching to speak the truth even if it would be to your own detriment moved her to action. She also spoke of the good that has come from several unexpected places on this journey. It was through the welcoming community at various Palestine-related activities that she learned about other important local causes that sparked her compassion and admiration. This diverse community comprising people of all faiths, ethnicities and backgrounds only strengthened her belief in the importance of building connections and finding common ground. Activism, she now believes, should be treated as a way of life, not just a series of temporary campaigns. She encourages everyone to be curious about the causes of their neighbours, as curiosity is the first step to solidarity. Reaction of AGM participants was overwhelmingly positive to this inspiring message, which was heartwarming to see. The year has been a tough one for many in the multifaith community, with passions running high on this painful issue. Several board members of the Victoria Multifaith Society had met Hanan for the first time when she agreed to join the organizing committee of the VMS series of Listening Circles, designed to heal rifts and bring communities together. Our earlier effort following October 2023 to hold a “prayers for peace” meeting had ended in failure and cancellation when a single angry group had threatened in advance to disrupt it. In April, we did something we’d never done before. We held a closed meeting, asking for those who were prepared to listen and to share. Ten members from each of the Abrahamic faiths (Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Baha’i) were individually invited to come together for facilitated, heartfelt conversations. The organizing committee was composed of two members from each of those groups who knew their communities. Every single one of those who said they would show up did so. Many came back over a series of four bi-monthly meetings to continue to share their responses to difficult questions and build relationships. We spoke quietly in groups of eight, sometimes with emotion, tucked away among soaring columns and stained glass. Those conversations were among the most meaningful and impactful we’ve witnessed over many years on many topics. Hanan is right, of course. We’re one family, inextricably linked, and we need to behave as such. We hope that the political world will catch up with that reality, that basic human rights will be universally recognized, and that we will learn to speak the truth even when it’s against us. It seems so appropriate to remember this as December 10th approaches, the anniversary of the world coming together for the first time to proclaim the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We need those who will hold fast and struggle without stopping, until we’re all finally included in that circle.

It's 2019 and bottlenose dolphin #1022, born in Scottish waters in 2007, is suddenly spotted completely alone, hundreds of miles from his home before ending up in Denmark, some 500 miles (800 km) away across the North Sea. Meet "Delle," as he was named by the Danish locals. A solitary bottlenose dolphin whose name from years ago by Scottish researchers is , identified by his unique dorsal fin markings. He was part of the "Moray Firth" pod of Star Wars-named dolphins that included his mother, Chewbacca, and his siblings Skywalker and Kenobi. We'll call him by his new name though, Delle. Delle has given us a rare glimpse into the mysteries of dolphin communication. Delle set up home base in Svendborgsund – a busy waterway outside Funen Island, Denmark – far, far from any usual bottlenose dolphin hangouts. Over three years, he's become somewhat of a local celebrity, delighting onlookers with his aerial antics and confusing scientists with his vocalizations. Researchers lowered a microphone into the water from December 2022 through February of 2023 and recorded a total of 10,833 sounds from Delle. They had initially expected Delle would keep his chatter to a minimum – only echolocating for food and the like. Instead of silence, Delle was a one-dolphin band, producing a wide range of sounds. And it wasn't just feeding or navigating. He was " " to anything that would listen, even if it was just to himself. Dolphins are incredibly smart and social mammals that typically live in a pod. Dolphin communication systems are regarded as being very complex and even share parallels with how humans communicate. "Signature whistles" are unique to each dolphin in a way that names are unique to a person (I wonder how many dolphins share the name "James?"). Dolphins will identify themselves with a signature whistle and even mimic another dolphin's signature whistle to interact with a specific member of the pod. "Hey James, it's James! Wanna party? I got some sardines!" For starters, Delle has been vocalizing three unique signature whistles, which is weird. Researchers think that because Delle has been isolated without social interaction for so long, it's affecting his . He might be doing it to amuse himself or calling out the "names" of dolphins he once used to hang out with. It could just be a coping mechanism to get him through the day. The reasons are all speculative as this type of solo-act-dolphin phenomenon isn't commonly observed. Maybe he has split personality disorder? Traditionally, dolphins are believed to have a one-whistle-per-dolphin system, but Delle threw that theory out the window with his triple-whistle repertoire. Delle doesn't stop at just whistles. He throws in something called biphonic sounds – that's when you make two noises simultaneously. We're not sure why dolphins do this, but it might be to add more layers of complexity in their communication to one another. Some people can do it. We call it overtone or throat singing. It's rare for dolphins to do, but it has been observed before so it's not entirely unique. Delle, on the other hand, is full of biphonic sounds, including combinations of whistles, low-frequency tonal calls, and burst-pulse sounds ... due to the lack of conspecifics anywhere nearby, Delle might just be stretching out his two sets of phonic lips (the dolphin version of vocal cords) and just experimenting his vocal range. Granted, bottlenose dolphins have been known to often communicate with others several miles away. Among his most commonly made sounds were rhythmic low-frequency noises known as "gulps." Researchers have linked gulps to everything from feeding (no pun intended) to social excitability. Delle has been doing it for seemingly no other reason than to hear himself, very much like when you, Dear Reader, sing in the shower when no one is home. Delle might just be sad and lonely and the sounds could be expressions of emotion either intentionally or unintentionally. Most animals vocalize basic emotions. For example, when your pet pooch cries in happiness when you get home or sadness when you leave. Or Delle might be "singing the song of his people" in hopes the find his fellow dolphins. Though, having spent the last three years in the same spot with no other in sight, you'd think he'd have realized he simply wasn't invited to the party. Another assumption – as many of his sounds came in rhythmic bouts and often during his signature aerial flips – perhaps he was just in the mood for some wicked beats to get his dance on. Delle's chatter raises as many questions as it answers. Is it a sign of emotional complexity? Is he practicing his sounds like a dolphin musician? Or is it simply a reflection of his natural urge for social interaction? In the end, maybe Delle (or bottlenose dolphins in general) isn't so different from us. We all have the desire to be heard, even if no one is listening. At least Delle hasn't taken up wearing tuna fish hats like some we know. Source:
