I have had the incredible fortune to get away for 5 days to Nantucket, where my extended family owns a vacation home. This time away has reminded me of how important it is to get away in order to better see your own life as others see it. With reluctance I am heading back home tomorrow. In the meantime, I’d like to share a few of the images I’ve enjoyed out here. I’d you’d like to see any of these up close, just click on the image.

This is a view from an old cabin by the sea. On several occasions I read in the cabin.

During a sunset a few days ago, I noticed that the sun was lighting up the moist shells on the beach. Even random patches of shells looked like treasure.

This evening I watched the sun set at Quidnet Beach. The sun was blasting the clouds from behind me, while the water stayed a rich blue-gray. It was about 50 degrees and rather gusty, but I was mesmerized by the view.

Also from Quidnet. The comings and goings of gulls, minus the gulls.

This is looking west, at the town of Nantucket as the sun set. I really enjoyed the reflective lighting framing the town.

Here’s a windblown tree just off Quidnet Beach.
I’ll end with a thought inspired by my need to return to a more stressful life, this quote by Friederich Nietzsche: “It is by invisible hands that we are bent and tortured worst.” Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
