Dag Hammarskjöld

Dag Hammarskjöld, Markings
In the point of rest at the center or our being. we encounter a world where all things are at rest in the same way, Then a tree becomes a mystery, a cloud a revelation, each man a cosmos of whose riches we can only catch glimpses. The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.

119-Word Autobiography

I was born in Colorado Springs on June 14th, 1939 and grew up there. I earned my B.A. in political science from Colorado College. Before leaving for California in 1961, I was a member of the Unitarian Church there. I have a Master's degree in International Studies from Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California. I retired from a career in secondary education and moved to Santa Barbara in 1999. I am currently semi-retired. My past and present extracurricular activities have included - chronologically - political activism (peace and civil rights), coaching youth sports, tennis, yacht racing, writing, and walking my Doberwoman, Ballou. I am very happy to have become re-churched in a Unitarian-Universalist setting after wandering in the wilderness for almost 50 years!

  4. The sails look new. Looks like Open Container I. But the dude looks too young to be going through even his first mid-life crisis.
