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.

Honors from the U of C...that is very impressive...I went there, and my daughter went there, and my future son-in-law...so I know whereof I speak. Congratulations!

Congratulations to the graduate and to the proud parents. Like the entire process of child-rearing from pregnancy to job/family, college commencement runs the gamut from tears to joy. This is a timeless photo--could be the 1940s! Hope the condo-hunting goes well (he must have a job already?!). The Lovely Girlfriend sounds like a mother's dream, too, just as your son is.
