I am grate- ful they are all well, well employed and like their jobs.And I am deeply grateful for all the grandchildren. I am grateful too for hav- ing found a second home in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and that we have had the opportunity to spend each summer there barring the one we had Aaron and the one we were on sabbatical in Israel. Grateful for the gift of the Island because the kids love it too and come to spend time with us each summer. I am happy we are along the water where the great blue herons fish and the trout and salmon run,where we can kayak, canoe, swim, gather oysters and net smelt during their annual spring runs. Finally, I am grateful to still be able to fly-fish; in Cape Breton, in Argentina, in New Zealand, in Labrador and hopefully, if I hold up for a few more years, in other places too. I am grateful that I can still hunt trout in the quiet waters alone, and through the grace of G-d that I can, withWendell Berry, still go ...and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. That I can: ...come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. Peter’s seven grandchildren. That I can, ...come into the presence of still water. And that I can, ...feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. —Peter
