The Horseshoe Crab is a hero and a testament to survival. Many millions of moons before man began his climb to understand, there was the Horseshoe Crab, and the Horseshoe Crab was perfect. Built like a military helmet, the Crab was ready to battle. It's mission was in the sand and having a purpose was character. And so the crab crawled on leaving behind it's abundance of eggs for the migratory shore birds, sea turtles and various species of fish. That the Horseshoe Crab provides what's needed for so many others to endure this life reveals the heroic nature installed at it's core. Simple is strong, strong is sturdy and sturdy works.
This book opens up in the late 1950s to find that same man still suffering from his lack of understanding anything beyond America being number one in getting things done. While the crab crawled on, the last of the Lenape's dwindle into the history books and the waters change into a polluted disgrace from the economic boom of another golden age. Rock & Roll arrives and with it comes an historic sexual freedom never before seen by those still breathing from the first World War. Poppa whistles regrets while Momma gets upset when it's 10 o'clock and they know not where their children are. Charlie Manson is lurking while we're landing on the moon thinking that we may need somewhere else to call home soon?! Nobody Knows! Lives are moving faster and the pursuit of happiness is proving to be disastrous for the many souls who flounder then perish after winding up misdirected from the mysterious illness of never knowing where they were going in the first place. After 20 years of schooling all that's been learned is that you will eventually get burned. Nobody Knows. Shit Happens. Mama was Right. These are the themes to be discovered in between these pages that have been brought down from Nobodies mountain to where life goes on with a population losing it's balance to the tilted challenge required to survive this current climate suffering from the complicated hands of man now busy making emergency plans, while the crab crawls on.
