A forever memory I have is of one night at the beach house, ‘94 or ‘95, all of us out on the deck watching the Perseid shower. One by one, you guys fell asleep and I took each of you inside to go to sleep. The active night sky and the sound of the waves reaching the shore (in darkness, heard but not seen) were a powerful combination.
I love this. Thank you for honoring the dark/night. It resonates deeply with me; in fact I just published a piece yesterday on Making Friends with the Dark!

One of my favorite beach house things was how it always lined up with the Perseids!
Beautiful elegy for a lost night here, Chuck. Thanks for the perspective and the words to express such a loss. All the best in the new year to you.
Same to you, Devin! Can't wait for your book.
