Nearly Eternal

A  L  O  H  A  !
"To stand at the edge of the sea, to
sense the ebb and flow of the tides, 
to feel the breath of a mist 
moving over a great salt marsh,






to watch the flight of shore birds 
that have swept up and down
 the surf lines of the continents for 
untold thousands of years,







 is to have knowledge of things 
that are as nearly eternal 
as any earthly life can be."
    Rachel Carson

Too bad Rachel died so young. The environmental movement could have used her for a few more years.

Rachel Carson was a wise woman. And gone too soon.

I still often think of Carson's opening words in her book about the spring with no robins.

The clouds are excellence, and so are all, fabulous.
