BULLETIN VOLUME XXXI ISSUE I
M
DECEMBER 2015
OVERTURES y daughter likes the reptile house at the Turtle Back Zoo. She is particularly smitten with the majestic white python that occupies a glass-enclosed space roughly three times the size of my upstairs bathroom.
“Did you know that a snake grows to the size of its cage?” she asks. “No,” I say. She assures me this is true. Far Brook is growing. By the time this Bulletin reaches our mailboxes, great mounds of dirt will have been replaced by soil and grass. The diggers and bulldozers will be gone, as will workers wearing hardhats, blueprints in tow. We will again park on Tall Pine Lane. We will have new ground to explore. Like the python expanding to fit its home, let us allow for possibilities, to be challenged by new perspectives, and to usher in the familiar sense of wonder and curiosity that we at Far Brook have come to know and cherish.
