This is a lovely essay and I thank you for the gentle reminder that so often we are not in touch with our adaptability and accountability and creativity for living in the world.
I spent a lot of time in canoes as a teenager, and I didn't appreciate their beauty then. But your essay reminds me of exactly how elegant they are and how gracefully they engage with the water. And that one you illustrate is astounding! I've never paddled in a bark canoe, I'll have to put that on my bucket list. Thank you Rainey. Your timing is perfect!
This is one of your best essays. Thank you.
Beautiful!
An elegant essay about an elegant object!
