Posted by Glenn Currier on 08/03/18 at 01:16 PM What a tribute! As I think about it, so much of my life seems to be my attempt to build something our of that sand that I hope will be a castle and not just a moat or something that will float away. And I am truly fortunate if someone in THIS era will think a few of them are castles. Your father was obviously successful because here you are. Right here. Right now. Building a castle for us. Thank you. |

Posted by Rob Littler on 08/24/18 at 07:04 AM ...transitory beauty is beautiful nonetheless, but just in case I'm not the only one noticing, maybe it is because castles made of sand float into the sea, eventually, that experience can also be more "melt it into a glass house" kind of lesson |
