Timothy Egan Quotes
At Low Tide, Much Of The Sea Changes To Land, And Then More Than Seven Hundred Islands Can Be Counted. People Come Here To Hide, To Find Something They Can't Find On The Mainland, To Get Religion Through Solitude. From June Till September, Nearly Every Day Is Perfect, With The 10,778-foot Volcano Of Mount Baker Rising From The Tumble Of The Cascades To The West, Blue Herons And Bald Eagles Crowding The Skies, Killer Whales Breaching Offshore. The Water Is Exceptionally Clear, The Result Of A Twice-daily Shift-change In Tide, When It Sweeps North Toward The Strait Of Georgia, Then Back South Toward The Strait Of Juan De Fuca. In Some Places, The Rip Tides Create White Water Like Rapids On A Foaming River. Being Is Bliss. But Then The Winters Come And The Tourists All Go Home And Clouds Hang On The Horizon And Unemployment Doubles And The Island Dweller Is Left With Whatever It Is That Led Him To Escape The Rest Of The World.
