  •     Rising in the rigging of El Galeon, the moon, last May, might have been last night if it weren't for the clouds.   Coming out of the clouds, the beautiful moon rides high in the sky all night long, and then wakes me in the morning, cheerfully shining through the window.   Good…

  •     This solid chair, situated in a garden beneath a huge live oak tree is made up of trillions of bouncing molecules, just like you and me. Sometimes we feel as grounded as a boulder.
