...And you are excited about all these! Good for you!
A regular customer of ours arrived at the restaurant about noon to order some coffee drinks. He said..."Sorry we couldn't make it for breakfast...we've been in church all morning." ...and he rolled his eyes.
I spent Friday with the artists and Easter with the Moravians, where I missed my little band of Episcopalians... but singing the doxology so touched my heart...
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.
