Greetings from New England, Gathering. I've been following your blog for a little over a year and wanted to thank you for all the updates. I share an appreciation for many of the things I think you find important: simplicity, surf, nature and slow living. It's been a real treat. I spent my summer sailing around Maine this year, but couldn't make it to Nova Scotia. One day. As I am in transition finishing a doctoral program and looking for work that seems elusive (Francophone studies (ha)), I am grateful for the blog that brings everything back down to earth and makes me realize it will all be okay.
Thanks for the kind words. I don't usually know why I write here. It is nice to know that it is meaningful to someone. Before our daughter was born my wife and I spent an autumn slowly passing through Maine. Loved it. If you ever make it up this way, let me know. There is always fresh roasted coffee around to be brewed, and often a wave to slide near home.
This photo is in Australia, me with my good mate Nathan Oldfield. December is always a bit of a blue month for us, as they lost their Willow and we had a miscarriage during a December a few years ago. There are many good gifts in this life, and many good things that seem to be taken away.
Thank you for your response, Michael. Incidentally, I am a big fan of your friend Nathan's work in Australia and I read about his loss on his blog roughly a year ago. Extremely touching.
Even more ironically, I just recently returned from presenting a paper in Byron Bay with Southern Cross University around November 25. I am part of the collective of Kurungabaa-A Journal of Literature, History and Ideas from the Sea (www.kurungabaa.net) and some of the editors are also friends with your mate. It never surprises me how small the world can be.
I will definitely let you know should I be in Nova Scotia. My girl and I have wanted to make it there for years. Seasons greetings from New England, Michael.
Kindly, Noah
P.S. If you would like a copy of the new Kurungabaa journal, send me an email at nsabich@gmail.com and I will happily forward a free copy your way. My gift for sharing your gifts.
So much give and take in this life.
