The song is about putting a relationship into perspective, and for me going to the Sandfly bay is also about perspective. Looking down at the path, the flax and fields, the beach and rocky cliffs, the waves and the southern ocean, and seeing how small the people are makes me wonder exactly how does it all fit together. What is the proper perspective for assessing a person's relationship with the environment? I've heard about a book called White as the Waves, which is a retelling of Moby Dick from the perspective of the whale. It hardly seems possible that in 150 years man's relationship with nature could have changed so much...
Did I mention that sometimes the people here make me feel a bit conservative? More about that later though. Its late here, and I've got hours of sperm whale recordings to listen to tomorrow...

Hey Brian your mom and I are at Bells Ferry looking at your blog. She's told me really "intersting" things about you! My name is Amanda and I am the daughter of one of the ladies she works with. I am senior in college and studying to be a speech therapist. I here one of your rommates is one. ( I think our moms are trying to play matchmaker) Either way I really enjoyed looking at your pictures. I hope you enjoy your ocean expedition. If you have time, e-mail back, our moms would love it!
