i got a piece of charlie's rock today from dan & jane in vt.
sometimes you get something from someone and it totally breaks you up. charlie died jumping off Lone Rock Point in Burlington. He was surrounded by friends and family but it was a tragic death. Charlie was 22 or 23, i think, and he was dan's younger brother. dan doesn't say alot about sickness or death - he's a doer. i like to tease dan ...he's always "the man with the plan" so his carving from charlie's rock is huge to me.
it's a heart.
in his note which (typical of dan) he included the geographic history of the rock formation and added an historian's point of view, and these words, "may it bestow you with some of its mystical qualities and may you belike the cedar trees that grow on it - a truly resilient and hearty survivor"
thanks dan....xoxoxoxox
i've been to lake champlain many many times and we always go by charlie's rock although i'm too chicken to jump off. maybe this summer i'll do it.
