A light in the distance


Me and a lighthouse

I was so sad last year that, along Maine and PEI, I didn't get to meet a lighthouse.

So Jessi indulged me and let me have a few minutes to commune with this one.

There's something altogether romantic and sad and heroic about lighthouses. I can't describe it, but I love looking at them.

And even though I didn't get to go really near any last year, I loved how, during our middle-of-the-night drive up the coasts of Maine and New Brunswick, I could mark the time of our drive by the flashing beacons that punctuated the blackness.
