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.
