Why Gannet? Why Search the Sea?
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

Hi Robin. It feels so strange to be uprooted this way, but maybe it is for the best. Maybe we all need a new start. Maybe by staying with AOL all this time we have been thinking too small. We should think big, and we should stand for what is right. I am happy to count you among my friends. --Theresa Williams
Hey, Robin - nice to find you here. Sorry all you paying AOL people are going through this. I have to be honest, though - I scarcely notice the banner ads. I think I have learned to tune them out. On livejournal, of course, there are none, and I have been very happy with the service. Let's hope that blogspot does it for you.
Take care - and here's to new beginnings!

Oh my gosh, how beautiful! I love the black background (wink wink)
welcome home. I think standing up for principles means something and I am delighted you are here. love, judi
It's looking pretty good here. I DO prefer black backgrounds, and had to abandon mine when AOL screwed THAT up. Well, we'll see what happens this time around... :-]
