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.

Great photo! I know I read something by you and then it disappeared. Three church services in one day? We were lucky to get to one, and it was beautiful. Your holiday sounded wonderful -- full of friends, spirituality and warmth.
Such a lovely photograph. I missed our candlelight service this year and truly regret it.
Simply beautiful! My sons are almost old enough for midnight mass and I'm much looking forward to it.
Beautiful photo...I can smell the candles.
