If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water. -Loren Eiseley * Eiseley holds an important place in my heart as a scholar who stood astride the gap between science and literature. Along with Carl Sagan, Farley Mowat, and Rachel Carson, Eiseley elegantly presented complex principles using poetic language. * I am, and always have been, drawn to water. Whether it is falling from the sky or limpidly luminescent in the pool. One of my twins is a water baby. His brother, Not so much. * I’ve rambled all over this morning, which reflects the state of my mind at the end of the summer. Trying to revel in the days we have left and knowing that it will soon be over. Are you back to school already? Or do you get a few more precious weeks? My twins go to preschool for the first time ever this year, to learn some of the world’s magic for themselves. * * * #loreneiseley #carlsagan #magic #waterislife #watervibes #waterbaby #watermomma #mommyblogger #fortbirthday #momoftwins #readersofinstagram #nevercrywolf #dragonsofeden #mommamusings #poolpics #poolwater #azureblue #poolreflections #magicintheworld #itcallsme #bluesofinstagram #bluebluewater #read #lightandwater (at Oxford, Maryland)
