It seems the baby boomers are storming Facebook! I joined a long time ago (ahead of the curve, hahah) and the account lay dormant. Until about three weeks ago! Now, suddenly, I have been bombarded with Facebook friend requests! Funny, and kind of sort of fun. Reconnecting always is.
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.

Actually, it was a complete surprise - a couple steps past uncharacteristic.
I'm not a great fan of facebook, but I DID notice your new template...

I'm on FB too. You can look me up or wait for my e-mail. It's fun!
