But while we’re living, we share the energy that makes everything, from a blade of grass to an elephant, grow and live and then inevitably wear out and die. This energy, this life force, creates the whole world.

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. 4:30am. One of the most breathtaking, awe inspiring moments I had during our travels to the Maritimes.
Today ends my connection to the internet for a while. No further posts are scheduled so I’ll see you again, live and in person, on Sunday or Monday. Thanks for visiting. Have a fabulous weekend and, if you’re experiencing the same extreme heat we are, stay cool.
