On Philbin Beach in Aquinnah, Martha’s Vineyard, someone had built this excellent boat.  I like the idea of available materials, of taking what washes up in our lives, or what we stumble across and making art from sudden inspiration.  Or building upon what is already in place, like the boulder that forms the prow of this ship.

The other thing I love about this particular creation is all the different perspectives if offers.  On my way back down the beach, a man and his son were sailing this lovely stone ship, seated inside of it looking out this way, reminding me to change my perspective, to walk around a situation until it yields a fresh point of view, until I can see things differently, or more clearly.
