First Rains of 2021-2022

It began to rain on Saturday and continues to fall today.  Finally!!  We have not had any rain for many months.  We need rain and snow in the Northwest.

Tomorrow, 9/20/2021, I drive from Vancouver to Grayland Beach State Park.  I will be camping at the beach in a yurt for 3 days.  

Lately, lots of reading!  

"Estuaries are a happy land, rich in the continent itself, stirred by the forces of nature
like the soup of a French chef; the home of myriad forms of life from bacteria and
protozoans to grasses and mammals; the nursery, resting place, and refuge of
countless things."
-  Stanely A. Cain

"When you look at that nature world it becomes an icon, it becomes a holy picture that speaks of the origins of the world.  Almost every mythology sees the origins of life coming out of water.  And, curiously, that's true.  It's amusing that the origin of life out of water is in myths and then again, finally, in science, we find the same thing.  It's exactly so."
-   Joseph Campbell, The Hero's Journey, p. 10
