Summary: Reflections from the eighth decade — on life, culture, and the state of the world. This blog offers quiet observations, drawn from a lifetime of watching, questioning, and remembering. The sun lowers, but still gives light.

Quote of the week: From Johan Huizinga "Civilization is not a matter of strength or wealth, but of balance, restraint and form." used in "Walking Among Memory: The Dutch Golden Age and Its Limits."
