Outermost Writing from Cape Cod: collected essays
Writing inspired by life on the outermost beaches of Cape Cod. Walk the beaches of Cape Cod. Wonder over the travels of a broken shard of glass tumbled by the Atlantic. Stand at the cliff's edge and feel the winds of a winter storm. Stand barefoot in summer sand, watching for the tide to change. Each piece puts you in touch with the natural beauty of Cape Cod and considers aspects of the human condition.
How might the tides influence our relationship with time? How does living alongside an ever-changing landscape impact our day-to-day living? How might the unremarkable beauty of a scrub pine expand our own perceptions of beauty? What do we have to learn from the celestial romance between the moon and tide?
Outermost Writing from Cape Cod examines everyday life framed by nature. In the tradition of Thoreau's Walden, and Beston's Outermost House, this book looks at the interplay between who we are and where we live. Each piece invites readers to take a deep breath and enjoy the simple beauty of a life lived by the sea.
We feel at home when our surroundings reflect the things we value most. In our modern world, it can be challenging to connect with our environment and, by extension, with ourselves and the ones we love. These writings invite readers to witness the crashing winter waves of the Atlantic, walk the flats of the bayside at low tide, and wonder at the simple beauty of seaside life - all the while reflecting on our present condition.
This exploration of Cape Cod and examination of the human condition offers readers the perfect excuse to enjoy a little seaside rest.
