Essay on Santa Rosalia-Seattle connection


Moving essay by a woman from Seattle about Santa Rosalia.

Link is here: From the Sea of Cortez

Opening paragraphs:
Quote:
There is a town by the name of Santa Rosalia on the Sea of Cortez, in Baja California. When you hear a Santa Rosalia native say the name, the word "Rosalia" has the most lyrical and lovely sound, and you imagine the town as a woman, dark hair captured at the nape of a long and elegant neck, red rose behind the ear, smoky eyes. A sultry rolling "R", a slightly flat "O", and softer "S" - "Rosalia".

It is a salt water town with a most unique history. In the United States we too often ignore our own past and the building of this country by immigrants who were unwelcome but instrumental in erecting the industrial foundation of our economy in the 1800's. The Irish, the Chinese, the Scandinavians; add just about any other nationality to the mix and you'd have the right of it. Santa Rosalia echoes a similar melting pot past to our own United States history.

FWIW,

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.
