Though the great song return no more
There’s keen delight in what we have:
The rattle of pebbles on the shore
Under the receding wave.

I leave the sea at peace with my place in the world.

Everybody would like to be an oak tree, that’s very strong and very pretty.
Katharine Hepburn
Early this morning, when I was inspecting the jumble of leaves and pink peppercorns that the California Pepper tree had deposited on the roof and in the gutters of my new home, I thought of Katharine Hepburn’s statement that she would like to be a great oak tree.
After having lived in New England for fifteen years and spent a good part of every fall raking and bagging thousands of leaves from white and red oak trees, I would not wish to be a tree that was so burdensome – no matter how beautiful. I think Johnny Carson was on the right track when he said he wanted to be a tumbleweed.
