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.

I'd agree. My parents are headed out your way tomorrow and they're not even sure the roads will be open.
Oh, dear...did you drive home into that?
i have parishioners who don't go south until they can be sure they won't come back to crazy weather. it really is a downer.
and the weather up here (and it looks like down there- not that home for you is so far down) has been INSANE the past few days.
hang in there. stay warm and safe.
I have been thinking of you. Did you drive in that? I sent my ds1 off to Columbus to visit a friend. Her family must think we are totally crazy -- like you? :>
oh, yeah.
Oh, GG! Nothing like a spring blizzard to make you appreciate the respite you were able to enjoy last week. Welcome home, I think!
Looks cold~!
