More Rocky Neck Plunge

Posted on by God's Morning

It was such a perfect day, and a good time was had by all – plungers and nonplungers alike.  What a great way to start the New Year, especially if you said Rabbit, Rabbit first.

 

Auction – This Wednesday!!

Posted on by Sharon

Looking for something to do on Hump Day? Check out Gloucester’s new auction house.

This week Walt will have an auction that covers all shades of the spectrum. For example, there’s a showcase full of vintage jewelry, an Ibanez black acoustic guitar, art, lots of power tools & much more.

The auction starts at 6pm, but anyone interested should take advantage of the 3hr inspection that starts at 3pm in the afternoon. There’s usually a couple of hundred lots at least which are sold at each auction so there’s not a lot of time to give details on the auction block.

The auction is located in the Cape Ann Industrial Park, 17 Kondelin Rd. #7

More details at www.auctionwally.com/ and at: http://auctionzip.comauctioneer/gloucester

If you’re interested in selling your items call Walt at 978-395-7077

In Seine Field

Posted on by Marty Luster

In memory of Barbara’s mom, Mildred Kirschbaum, October 12, 1912 – January 1  , 2012.

IN SEINE FIELD

 

She’s in Seine Field, east of a nearby gate,

with her arms aiming at the fearsome sky,

as if proclaiming to all the trees, and

all the birds,  all the humans, and all the

creeping beings, all the grasses, all the flowers,

all the elements of earth and sky and

all the spirits of those that came before

and the force of  those who will come after:

I am here and I am perfect!

 

I absorb your bright sun, and rejoice in

your stormy clouds. I shake away your salt

winds that have taken many good men down ,

and I withstand your blasts of cold and your

furious summer fires; my roots are deep

and suck the nourishment of this dear land;

my limbs, long and limber , protect my core;

my elegant needles are dense and lush.

I am here and I am perfect!

 

And even when that day comes when branches

drop and my limbs crack and my trunk decays;

when my glorious needles curl , yellow

and fall, when even light breezes threaten

my ability to stand straight and tall  –

even when that end day comes and I fear

I can’t provide shade to the wanderer

and home to the joyous souls of Seine Field, still

I am here and I am perfect!
