what was stately and luxurious



just saving this thought here.   and these pictures.   it isn't exactly a fit but for me it is a heartbreaking, no heartbending, example of when enough can never be enough.

i'm so sorry that my treasured luxurious childhood home is now tricked out and empty.   apparently not suitable for anyone??

Casting about, not unusually

Not everyone wakes up reading about Svalbard, Greenland Right Whales [Bowheads] that are all but extinct but live to be 200 years old, the Global Seed Vault.   Why me?   Just how did a piano playing marion the librarian GET here?????   Today it is The View From Lazy Point, Carl Safina.  In the balance I'm honored to be with a writer like this,  my kinship is real.  I have found my people.   It's a most unusual path but I continue to be fascinated and amazed.   what could be better than that?

Funny Deborah and I keep joking about "who are our people???".   I forgot to throw the seine far enough.  aha.

I love reading about these extreme Norwegian places,  just as i love reading about Long Island and the Pacific Northwest.  This busted-open-me is a good me.    I'll continue to think about what  my role can be, what part I can play.  I'm honored that I have found this secret door, this invisible mantel.  The Underground has been launched, it has a toe print.    How can it be different, what could be better, what should be it's shape.

Keep thinking.   If I *felt* things any less, I wouldn't be where I am and who I am.   exhausted and exhilarated both in greatly variated ratios.
