Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans.
What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.
Birthday? Birthday???? Happy Birthday! Another July Baby. Anybody who is anybody was born in July:)
RE "Can't run again...": Just last night I was wondering who was going to start lining up for the Republican Presidential nod in 2008. And then this morning, I'm greeted with the headline about Frist splitting with the president's policy on stem cell research. Yuck! Lisa :-]
You say it your birthday! It's my birthday too yeah! You say it's your birthday! Happy Birthday to you. (I'm sure The Beatles did it a whole lot better). Haha Have a wonderful birthday. Tami
Happy Belated Birthday!! I drove by your house that day and didn't realize it was a special day. My birthday calendar got lost and I've been lost on sending greetings ever since. I hope you had a great day. I'm sure this card helped!!
