'No Man is an Island'

No man is an island entire of itself; every man 
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; 
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe 
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as 
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine 
own were; any man's death diminishes me, 
because I am involved in mankind. 
And therefore never send to know for whom 
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. 


Olde English Version
No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man
is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine;
if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe
is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as
well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine
owne were; any mans death diminishes me,
because I am involved in Mankinde;
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

NP - Bryce Canyon

Bryce Canyon in May can be REALLY cold. Andi can attest to that. It snowed and our tent collapsed with her inside. Not her first trapped in a tent adventure!!

The views here are stunning!

Shopping in Covid for quilt materials led me to some fun new stores. One had a large collection of Hungry Caterpillar materials which inspired two baby quilts. The first I've given to the new baby next door. The one for a little boy is waiting for a home.

CSB - Natural Bridges and Monarch Butterfly Nature Preserve

Natural Bridges was my go to reflection site during the time I was at UC Santa Cruz. The ensuing years have added a bit more structure no more sitting on the rocks!
