I learned the word "cairn" this weekend, playing scrabble and was fascinated that a word existed to describe man-made piles of stones. Their purpose is "to increase visibility" or "for religious reasons". I like to think that these two purposes could be one in the same. Clarity has often come to me in moments that feel spiritual. My blog is an exploration of the self, both in solitude and in union with something larger. Thanks for reading...

Craig's List
I am imagining Craig's mom, who lives in a humble house in a suburb of San Fransisco..."Why Craig...you said it was a tasteful way for people, like you and your friends' friends to meet. You showed me how to dial up on the internet and see the web site you created, your "baby", you used to call it. Not many moms knew how to use the internet then, I was one of the proud first...a far cry from a grandchild, but still i was proud. You never did take the straight path--the peace corp and national parks, and living in dingy apartments in Frisco. I was proud. But I have to say I am shocked! I went on your site yesterday, seeing the progress...and there are some awful filthy things. You should be ashamed. Really. And your name is all over the country!"
