It started out just as Yeats had said. It was about work and the grind and the difficulties and the schedule and the lack of freedom and everything that doesn’t feel like anything you want with the exception of the paycheck. If you’ve been there and done that, then this could be your signature...

Always Rachel
Today is Rachel Carson’s birthday. She has been honored and recognized as one of the founders of the modern day environmental movement. She showed us the delicate balance in our world and how every connection is an important one. She showed us the connection between the life cycle of a chemical and the life...
Corms on the wire
The first time I became aware of cormorants they were hanging out on the jetty in Provincetown Harbor. They seemed as if they were coated in oil. Their feathers, which hardly look like feathers, eminded me of the old fashioned oil cloth table covers. They’re great swimmers and move underwater like seals. That’s where...
Emerging songs
Been reading about Elinor Ostrom, the first woman to win the Nobel in the category of Economic Sciences. Her work is inspirational and hopeful. It’s based upon the idea of cooperation. Imagine that. She has a book coming out soon called Working Together. It’s the stuff that dreams are made of. I read an...
Come on now
Spring isn’t what I expected this year. Turns out I’m not alone. It’s been like this for a few years in a row too. So you’d think maybe we would expect it to be like this. But it takes a long time to get the feeling of a season into your bones and then,...
We’ve got your turtle back
Not too many people know that there were giant sea turtles that used to climb the pilings in Fletcher Lake in Bradley Beach. That was a long time ago but it is real. How they found these pilings is anyone’s guess. There was a place called Hogan’s on top of the boardwalk between Ocean...
Water Street
Everyone I know lives in proximity to water. Every street should be called Water Street if only because we should note how significant this element is to our lives. I know this sounds like preaching. It’s not what I meant to do. I was really thinking how every day lately, water has become the...
Follow the money
Here’s the deal. I’m trying to be positive and hopeful for the wetlands, the life and all the people and systems in place that make the Louisiana Gulf Coast so beautiful. I know that lives will be changed there for a long time. Livelihoods lost. I’m hoping new ones are found. The wetlands, now...
The Louisiana Gulf
The difference between taking action and sending positive thoughts is a bit confusing to me. But here I am, for as many days as I’ve been hearing about the Gulf oil disaster, trying to focus positive thoughts on the situation and the people and wildlife of that great area. When push comes to shove,...
