I hope this column will serve as a way to look in the mirror, to see what we have in our midst. I see it as musing, a word that is defined as thoughtful, meditative, contemplative…all things I’d like to be, although I often fall short of that. I’m apt to make snap judgments, to be outraged or intolerant. I have my prejudices. I’m slowly learning that this does little or nothing to further whatever causes I support. I’m a freelance writer and photographer living in Waldoboro. I can be reached at writer@midcoast.com
