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.

This reminds me of my house, after the fire...and I found that SO overwhelming...and it was just one house, but it was our house...I can't begin to imagine what I'd have felt, had it been the whole block, the whole neighborhood, the whole city...
I think you must be so proud of your daughter, to help with the cleanup.

I am hopeful when I see and hear stories of our nation's youth helping those who have fallen victim not only to nature's wrath but to our government's bureaucratic ineptitude. Please thank your daughter, and her friends, for all they're doing to make a difference in their corner of the world.
Your closing line was perfect.
You should be so proud...
This is a lesson she would never have learned in the ivied halls. What a great young woman,
Vicky
