Sister Pearl's World RSS

Hi. I'm Marco's sister. Those of you who don't know me can call me Pearl. When I was nineteen, I bit into a pearl in a fried oyster in some linoleum-floored crab shack on Cape Cod.

I'm a recovering graduate student, high school Spanish teacher, unrepentant history geek, and budding mystic. I've traveled to four of the seven continents. I always love to discuss politics, religion, history, and philosophy. In my other life, I'm also a wife with really poor housekeeping skills. But I can cook.

Sitting here in my little boat afloat the inky New York skyline, I’m often thinking of the beach and a big blue sky and water and tides and moving on, and I think of my grandfather, who was a shipwright, and my great-grandfather, who was in the Navy, and wonder if this seafaring is in my blood, even if I’m asail on a different kind of sea.

 My dad was in the navy. My mother’s people come from coastal regions. I never feel more at home or more fully alive then when I am breathing the salt air of the sea. 

I sometimes wonder if my veins flow with saltwater instead of blood.
