"the water of life"

1978

At this time of great tension I wish to say that the earth that gives us life

is more precious than any of us or any group of us, and that

our own existence depends completely on understanding

with love our connection to each other and the world and

universe around us.

and the shining beaches of your love,

and the sun of your embrace"

Although 2012 is only one month old, it is time for me to start the 2013 calendar.

I have talked to the printer, and I will go see him in a few weeks.

Here are the pictures I think I will use.

I hope you like them.

I am sad to say that the building in the center of this picture was seriously damaged

by fire this week.  The top of the roof is burned through and the rear of the building

is completely destroyed.  The very front section, where the two men can be seen,

holds a set of precious classic design sailboats, by Herreshoff.  It looks as though it

might not be damaged, but we must wait for further reports.

I have spent many precious hours wandering through this boatyard taking

pictures, and extend my sympathy and support to the owners, who have

been so hospitable to me and so grace our world with what they do.
