“The pebble drops in the source water of the shallow<\/p>\n
stream. Its course is deflected. It goes down this valley<\/p>\n
instead of that; it meets streams from these mountains<\/p>\n
instead of those; in a now unavoidable compulsion the<\/p>\n
creek must eat its way through sand and thorny areas<\/p>\n
and never know the rich verdure a few miles away.<\/p>\n
A certain sort of river, composed of certain elements,<\/p>\n
arriving by a certain route, flows at last into the eternity of the sea.<\/p>\n
It is all one to the sea, but who can say that it is a matter of indifference to the river?”<\/p>\n
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings<\/p>\n
Profound words, when I read them the thought came<\/p>\n
to mind that perhaps they help in explaining me to myself. Do they speak to you out there?, I would not<\/p>\n
be surprised.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Islander.<\/p>\n
