Everything is Buddha-full in its own way-ay I can’t help but be silly today Pronouncements are bounding out of my fingertips before I can censor them. Maybe it’s the season. Summer is a release from winter pushed by the green green fuse of spring. Sure, that’s a lot like Dylan Thomas. What is more...

The kick
The simple truth. Here it is. I was on the elliptical playing the kind of mind games and juggling my many strategies to get through to the far side of thirty minutes. The machine gives you a four or five minute cool down period. It has been my choice to leave when I’ve finished...

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...
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...
Oil spills dinosaurs
Fossil fuels. Old ideas of how to live in this culture, like fossils, have the power of big engines, turbines, horsepower and power to the enth degree. The famous but extinct dinosaurs are now liquid petroleum. Or if that’s not quite the case, it is close. How dinosaurs could spill all over the oceans,...
salt marsh
This soft spring I went down the trail to the place where the turtle’s head opened the water, where two Baltimore orioles threaded through the scrub pines on either side of the black pond. Just off the highway, it was quiet except for the wind brushing the pine needles. The ocean was only a...
Happy Birthday Dr. Hahnemann
The world is wildly different from your day but some things remain the same. Water is still the most important thing about this planet. Whether we will have fresh drinking water as a matter of fact and course is something that concerns major organizations that keep an eye out for these things. Over fifteen...
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...
