OK ~ papers turned in; one final exam (a whopper) tomorrow morning. Off to have some dinner and climb into bed to read through my voluminous notes one last time. Good luck to me!
how was dinner? I suggested an evening of pizza, beer and movies and thought it was a brilliant plan... ended up making a yellow split pea soup with 10,000 root veggies.
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.
