Your friend is very lucky to be able to collect pieces of drift glass. I hope she shares some with you now and then.<br /><br />Riding along that Norwegian road even virtually really is dizzying. The photography was magnificent too.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-70921317776535788352013-05-01T13:11:24.004-07:002013-05-01T13:11:24.004-07:00Remember the old ads that began with the phrase &#...Remember the old ads that began with the phrase 'better living through chemistry'? Look what it's brought us. I agree that theories about some fabulous last minute breakthrough that will solve everything are delusional but I remain hopeful about the longer term too, sadly, not necessarily one that involves having people and higher mammals as part of the population. It's amazing that we can be so cool as individuals and so crazy in the aggregate. <br /><br />I'm sorry about your aberrant spring weather. It's not infrequent the weather forecasters have proven wrong even about what's going on outside at the time, so I'll wish sunshine your way in hopes they're wrong again.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-38391141718416119082013-04-30T23:21:55.546-07:002013-04-30T23:21:55.546-07:00while i don't buy the delusionist theories tha...while i don't buy the delusionist theories that everything is fine, and science will always find a silver bullet to kill the monsters we create, i do believe there is a great deal we don't know, and the planet's ability to heal itself is vastly beyond our comprehension. How that will all spin off in the long run is anybody's guess, and i suspect humanity and many of our brother and sister life forms won't survive it.... but i do believe the earth will - even if she's populated only by fungi and cockroaches. <br /><br />let's not say the 'w' word for a while..... still in recovery. our forecast is for temps in the 20's in the coming week... or was that weather forecast a hypothermic hallucination? <br /><br />i hope your walks are warmer now, and your skin is soaking in some rays. gfidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452490194253665370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-79480235857815133702013-04-30T21:20:41.819-07:002013-04-30T21:20:41.819-07:00I've never seen so much beach glass on one bea...I've never seen so much beach glass on one beach - gorgeous! It reminds me of a beach near Victoria where our friends live. She would collect little bits of glass on this beach, rather rare in comparison, and slowly fill a lovely glass jar in her home.<br /><br />I remember seeing that amazing video of the Norwegian coastal road - almost terrifying yet so magnificent!marja-leenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634791656471132347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-88568461810418785442013-04-30T17:57:09.145-07:002013-04-30T17:57:09.145-07:00Yes, you're right and things certainly worked ...Yes, you're right and things certainly worked out fine with the beach glass. Some of the other stuff is still going to be going through the process long after we're gone.<br /><br />My first thought was that road in winter too. I was assuming we were seeing it in high summer! I hope your winter breaks soon. It finally seems to be easing up here but it's been a bad one.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-10021430671400908062013-04-30T09:59:18.532-07:002013-04-30T09:59:18.532-07:00I've always loved sea glass.

Nature can take the things we damage and destroy and, in her strong, gentle, unrelenting hands they return to the earth, balance, and beauty..... Even if we manage to destroy ourselves, she'll patiently work with what's left.<br /><br />I have to wonder what the stretch of road in the clip is like in winter.... A bit obsessed w winter just now. It snowed and blowed here all day yesterday.
