What's Quinoa?
When the earth breathes, the lake on Brewster Flats drains into Cape Cod Bay leaving miles wide swath of wavy sand where fiddler crabs scurry sideways and buried clams squirt streams of salty water inside my unsuspecting toes. I dance over the sand just like a young girl investigating an undersea kingdom now exposed much like the Red Sea which Moses parted until I come to the lake's edge, miles now offshore, taken off its original holding ground. Imagine my delight when I discover inside now shallow liquid domain, a horseshoe crab all ancient and dinosaurish. He wriggles all his spiny legs when I pluck him from his home and hold him the other way up so I often see his undersides. I imagine he is not very comfortable and thus, with much mercy I release him, but only to watch out for another.
