Hiiiii dear. When I saw your name here, my heart skipped a beat. You know, of course, the reason why. Because of that beautiful memory and connection that we forever share and cherish together. Come visit anytime. My home is your home. Sending you so much love.
The pelicans were cool. At Port Orford I’d sit and watch them for hours.
I’m still trying to absorb Jenkinson’s dialogue. Each generation has a new perspective.
Elders of today are the children of those that lived through a terrible world war, and demographically represent their parents’ desire to repeat the large families of past generations, hence not only their burden of social care due to their large number but also their guilt of perceived underachievement relative to their predecessors. Perhaps Jenkinson is correct in his assumption of unrealized expectations that surely plagues Gen X as well stemming from pressures to “succeed.” Moving off and away from the land in an accelerating capitalist system increased that pressure. It remains to be seen if the next two generations can break that cycle.
I spend a lot of time observing Pelicans. We have a large colony in my backyard. I love seabirds.
You bring up such insightful comments. Thank you for sharing those points. The large family idea is a great one but somehow the nuclear family seemed to have disconnected from community at large. Honestly unrealized expectations plague all our generations. I find it hard enough to bond on intergenerational level right now let alone across generations. I think we each have such unique experiences.
It does remain to be seen. It is all so complex and multifactorial to review history and try and learn from past mistakes/victories. I hope the young focus on the power of our minds.
Wow. An explosion bursts from you. I connected with much of what you write but one issue. That is where you write about Rodin. When I think about him I am always aware of the muse he forsake and emotionally abused, Camille Claudel.
I have more to say but sometimes I find it is better to just keep it simple. I loved your post and will read it more carefully when not tired at the end of the day.
Thanks for reading and commenting, Jim. I know about Rodin and PIcasso and all the rest. We all have dark sides. I see some of their dark sides. I am not justifying maltreatment and/or pedophilia or whatever is written/true/gospel. I am just recognizing the good and bad in all of us (of varying degrees of manifestation of course).
Rodin is one of my all time favorites. That is all I know. Vigeland was inspired by him. And so we all are...
Thank you, this resonates with my heart🩵🩵🩵
I am happy when people experience such things- whether they share it or not. Thank you for sharing it! I am grateful.
Keep sharing. I love it.

I understand. However, again the success of a great man appears to be on the shoulders of a woman.
Tell me something new again? 😂
