Jake and Phoebe at Ocean Park
Hand in hand across the dune, two friends set out for the beach. Sun warms their calves, turns her hair to gold. As usual, my grandson has a plan. His shoulders square, arms swing wide, bold steps aim at the … Continue reading

Contemplative Blog Post
Sunday in Ocean Park, Maine, brings me back to this infrequently tended garden of words and images that stretches back nearly a decade now. I’ve nothing specific or burning on my mind, except the desire to share this photo … Continue reading

Of Dogs, Cars and the Future of Man
I’ve read an entire chapter of Marshall McLuhan’s Understanding Media this morning, looking for a connection with the above photo that I took yesterday at Ocean Park. Nothing. Marshall is in rare form, toying with the automobile like–thank you very … Continue reading
