“Sanibel” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young There’s a ship And it sails a sea of light On it’s way to me tonight From a distant shore Taking me home once more And the waves And the whistling of the wind Make me come alive again My destiny’s at my door Going to leave this town forever And go where I’ll never Nead an overcoat no more, where they cry Oh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry Oh lalalala, on an island I will dwell Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel There’s a girl And I see her dressed in white As she lies there in the night I can hear her cry Where has he gone and why But she knows That someday he will arrive And it keeps her love alive Dreams can never die She looks across the ocean At sails in motion In the early morning sky, where they cry Angels of the water, sirens of the sea Whispering there sweet love songs Calling out to me


“Sanibel” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

There’s a ship
And it sails a sea of light
On it’s way to me tonight
From a distant shore
Taking me home once more
And the waves
And the whistling of the wind
Make me come alive again
My destiny’s at my door
Going to leave this town forever
And go where I’ll never
Nead an overcoat no more, where they cry

Oh lalalala, every night and every day
Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away
Where they cry

Oh lalalala, on an island I will dwell
Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel
There’s a girl
And I see her dressed in white
As she lies there in the night
I can hear her cry
Where has he gone and why
But she knows
That someday he will arrive
And it keeps her love alive
Dreams can never die
She looks across the ocean
At sails in motion
In the early morning sky, where they cry

Angels of the water, sirens of the sea
Whispering there sweet love songs
Calling out to me

Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often.

Inasmuch as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes, and garden vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game and the sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as he has protected us from the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilence and disease, has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience. Now I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye Pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting house, on ye hill, between the hours of 9 and 12 in the day time, on Thursday, November 29th, of the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and twenty-three and the third year since ye Pilgrims landed on ye Pilgrim Rock, there to listen to ye pastor and render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all His blessings. —William Bradford Ye Governor of Ye Colony

Linus Van Pelt: [after Linus and Charlie Brown discover the little tree] Gee, do they still make wooden Christmas trees? Charlie Brown: This little green one here seems to need a home. Linus Van Pelt: I don’t know, Charlie Brown. Remember what Lucy said? This doesn’t seem to fit the modern spirit. Charlie Brown: I don’t care. We’ll decorate it and it’ll be just right for our play. Besides, I think it needs me.

“It’s not so much that we’re afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it’s that place in between that we fear … . It’s like being between trapezes. It’s Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There’s nothing to hold on to.” Marilyn Ferguson

Water. Think about the mysterious magical nature of this liquid energy that we take for granted. Try to squeeze it, and it eludes us; relax our hands into it, and we experience it readily. If it stays stationary, it will become stagnant; if it is allowed to flow, it will stay pure. It does not seek the high spots to be above it all, but settles for the lowest places. It gathers into rivers, lakes, and streams; courses to the sea; and then evaporates to fall again as rain. It maps out nothing and it plays no favorites: It doesn’t intend to provide sustenance to the animals and plants. It has no plans to irrigate the fields; to slake our thirst; or to provide the opportunity to swim, sail, ski, and scuba dive. These are some of the benefits that come naturally from water simply doing what it does and being what it is. -Wayne Dyer
