ile d'espoira :: prev :: next :: Why am I drawn to Islands? I discover them from time to time and read and research dream and wonder. Why this fascination? It really is no mystery. Whether real or imagined, mundane or romantic, there is something there woven by God into our fabric at the core of our humanity which has been lost . . . the need for simplicity, to have what we do connected at the barest level to our survival, the need to have just enough and no more to number one's possessions as no greater than your fingers and toes the need for community, to celebrate as one mourn as one build, live, die as one to experience all for one not every man for himself the need to be at the helm of our destiny not power-crazed politicians or mindless bureaucrats or greedy corporations or spineless and confused hollywood Why am I drawn to Islands? It seems that what we have is so inexorably broken my only choice is to spurn it all and begin again and hope that this time it will stay on course. © 2007 (13 August) john r. chase
