BIG STORM / BIG LOVE


This blog was never really meant to be a "family chronicle." Those are great, but that isn't what this is. But it is often too apparent that these powerful intimate events are tied to larger and more mysterious events. Well aware that there are a number of "explanations" - (the scientific explanation, the anthropological expanation, the social science and geoscience explanation) - I prefer to dwell on the more spiritual mystery of how these things unfold. That said - this weekend we have a gathering of clans for the wedding of a beloved nephew to a equally wonderful woman - a gathering of the even larger clan on the shore of the Lake for Irish Fest - and last night the gathering of storm clouds that unleashed both beauty and fury on the southeastern corner of the state. Big storm / big love - beauty and fury all around.
