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.
We may have witnessed the death of a city. They say that they will rebuild, but logic insists that they are overly optimistic. The new century is assaulting us with events we would all rather have been spared. We agree with you: all is chaos. The Creator has lost control of Creation. Bon & Mal

No...there's not. We can only look in stunned disbelief and pray for those who must live through this nightmare.
I agree. I am so sorry...everything pales in comparison...

You're right. The impact is devastating. A city that I love is no more.
