Now I am back in New York, since mid-September, when I should have maintained a regular posting on my summer stay (June, July, and August). Suffice it to say that it was a great three months there. I am so fortunate to have so many wonderful friends in Sointula. Things got off to a somewhat shaky start. The blue cottage, in which I lived for so many summers, was up for sale, and it wasn't until a few days after my arrival in Sointula that I actually had a place to stay. In the few days in between, I was staying with a friend, but realized that the conditions there were not good for me for the kind of distance I need for my work. In the event, the place I found was lovely, and moreover right on the beach, though, as I have mentioned in earlier posts, West coast beaches are not like those soft, sandy ones in the Caribbean. They are rocky, pebbly, stony, full of driftwood, but the best thing, as can be seen in my previous post, is the seaweed, which thrive in such an environment. I wrote a longer post on this phenomenon on my Goethe blog, if you care to take a look at the phenomenon. Let me post some photos first thing and maybe mention a little bit about what each represents. (I can tell this will be a multiple blog post.)
