When I saw this photo of the rock of Gibraltar (go to Gibraltar Ornithological & Natural History Society and click on Gibraltar, Nature's Mountain, the cover photo for a book on diversity), it made me think of a poem written by my late friend L. Alexander. I can't remember all the words, and I know I'm missing a line or two, but it goes something like this ...
You know I've heard about people like me
But never made the connection
They walk one way to set them free
But find they've gone the wrong direction
There's no need for turning back
All roads lead to where we stand
And I'm convinced we'll walk them all
No matter what we may have planned

Your friend wrote a very wise poem.

When do you go Courtenay, or are you back? I'm sure it'll be an amazing trip!!

18-24 March we'll be in southern Spain, hopefully soaking up the sun, birds, pitchers of sangria and platters of paella. Trip leader thinks we'll be cooking dinners in bungalows, but I'll have NONE of that serious business - that's my life the OTHER 358 days of the year!

Courts, I am so happy for your upcoming trip. Think of story angles...I can write vicariously of your trip! Take lotso pictures.
Oh, I wish i had your camera - you just don't know! But I will try my best, and I will try to do some sketches and write bits here and there. But I will mostly drink LOTS (of water, of course) since it will be so HOT!
