Dear Lake Superior,

You are beautiful.  As many have said in the last week, you are the lake that looks like ocean.  What a discovery! And, in so many ways you are unlike any ocean I have ever experienced. 

Don't get me wrong, Lake Michigan will always be my favorite Great Lake, but you are something else entirely.  To stand so far above the water and stare out across your surface... it was magical.  I've never lived anywhere with any kind of height or hill to it, so when I come across land - and water - that doesn't just disappear into the horizon I am bewitched.  What is this land that curves and climbs?


love,
hannah
