More DescriptionIt Goes On is the remarkable story of Jonah Cetacean, an 89-year old man who gets one last chance to discover what his life was really all about. As his boyhood optimism clashes with life's triumphs, successes, and sad realities, Jonah is left wondering what it was all for. "'If I had to summarize what I have learned in my life at my age,' emotion gradually filled Jonah's speech, 'I would say that life does not go on, it ends, and when it ends you realize that you are left with nothing. Nothing.' Adrenaline was coursing through his veins. He was no longer afraid. He now yelled at the top of his lungs, 'Nothing! You hear me, Nothing! Nothing!' Jonah paused for a few seconds and then slowly repeated, though this time in no more than a whisper, 'Nothing.'"The tale of Jonah Cetacean is a story of wonder, discovery, romance, opportunity, struggle, tragedy, and redemption. But will he reconcile it all before it is too late? Jonah's life epitomizes the lives we all live and takes us on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery.
