scott,

lake merritt is one of the coolest and strangest water works ever — the history of a salt water lagoon and its division of neighborhood — i learned to sail there, fearful of falling into the water — not even from drowning, but from garbage — of course it is cleaner now — the hopeful course of water in cities. I’ve been reading Derrick Jensen and trying to figure out what hope might be. Eamon is crawling and that looks like hope. I’m teaching in art and ecology here at unm starting next year. would love to converse, share,
