“The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.”

Blaise Pascal

This post is dedicated to a woman who I knew, but slightly, and who died this week. She devoted her vacations to building Habitat for Humanity homes, eschewed cars and rode a bicycle everywhere. — Loved folk music, telling stories, and walking.


Her life of probably thirty-five years had been narrowing down—first she lost a job she loved, a relationship ended, and life for her became more of a struggle—balancing on a tightrope — losing her grasp.

I know there's a cadre of singers—and she's joining them— singing loud and clear.

as a former New Englander, I have a special place in my heart for the Cape. This is a wonderful photoessay of P-Town. Did you walk the rocks in photo #6? There is a great beach on the other side and a long walk in the sand takes you to long point lighthouse jonrake · 2007-06-05: 14:33
