Nomanisan Island

Lynn Henningsgard was a close personal friend, mentor, and teacher to a very young and impressionable version of my present self.

He lived on an island about a mile from the Timbuktu Marina near Cook MN in a cabin that belonged to a friend of his back in the early 1990's. He told me once, when I asked him the name of the island, "Nomanisan."

That was Lynn's humor and his wit. No man is an island...

He went to the island because he wanted to learn what love is.

I don't know if he ever found the answer to that question. But in his searching he turned on the lights for me.


Namaste,
