Charles Island, Milford CT

Once a day the sandbar appears for a walk to the island. You have to time it right or you'll get stuck out there!

"As Once the Winged Energy of Delight"

"As Once the Winged Energy of Delight"

As once the winged energy of delight
carried you over childhood's dark abysses,
now beyond your own life build the great
arch of unimagined bridges.

Wonders happen if we can succeed
in passing through the harshest danger;
but only in a bright and purely granted
achievement can we realize the wonder.

To work with Things in the indescribable
relationship is not too hard for us;
the pattern grows more intricate and subtle,
and being swept along is not enough.

Take your practiced powers and stretch them out
until they span the chasm between two
contradictions...For the God
wants to know itself in you.

-Rainer Maria Rilke

Treasure Beach Jamaica

Giving thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving week in Jamaica. What a great way to end the season. Lover's Leap, Children's Home, where we realized these kids are mostly in need of love, YS Falls, lots of stray dogs also in need of love, and lots of gorgeous tropical flowers in bloom everywhere. Thank you Erik and Janet for the invite-we loved it!
