“You can volunteer to take life seriously but it is gonna get you, they are going to win over you, it is harsh, but you can either break down and complain about how miserable your life is or have a go of it and survive. I think that is the basis of it all”
– Billy Connolly, ‘Made In Scotland’ (documentary), 2018
This is the last pic from my 2017 sojourn to Georgia and South Carolina for the moment: a group of large horseshoe crabs at the edge of the tide near Tybee Island.I was really taken with the primordial creatures, which are sort of scary and a little ugly, never seen anything quite like them! Real survivors of time and environment, inedible and armed with spiky tails. Sometimes we have to win ugly, just survive, but that is enough. Also, they band together and seem to need each other – there is probably some sort of message there too…
