In "Leaving Lakehouse" the author tells his own story from the
perspective of one who sees the beauty in life without rose colored
glasses, and also its limitations-including his own-face to face,
without benefit of palliative myth. It is Everyman's story without
Everyman's assurances, human mortality always an echo in 'Leaving,"
but treated as a fact of the human condition not to be denied as
part of the fabric of an individual history. 'Lakehouse" becomes
the focus for describing and accepting one's place in reality,
which is described with a recurring wry irony, and with occasional
spurts of indignation, humor, and literary allusion.
The author suggests that we might accept our place in nature as
do other natural creatures: The birds' comings and goings suggest
private, almost silent, seemingly uncomplicated lives we are
foreign to, an endless epic with no story to tell, time measured by
quietly moving wings of a dozen lovely mourning doves passing.
