So fellow travelers, our Creative Group lost one of our own recently, a strong minded woman who faced life’s struggles with the same determination and discipline that gained her a black belt. Her facebook page is filled with posts from family, friends and students from the martial arts school. It is clear the inspiration she […]

Disillusioned
So fellow travelers, life can change in an instant. One phone call can send us plummeting from a high to low point, a conversation can shatter our hearts. At times like this I am mindful of the teaching I strive to live by: it’s not the events but how we react to them that determines […]

Feels more like November than April today. My Bedlam Creative Group friend Tom Atkin’s extraordinary poetry spoke for my heart and soul this morning.

Every little thing
So fellow travelers, if one could post background music for an entry, this one would have the song from Disney’s Little Mermaid that goes “Don’t’ worry ’bout a thing, cause every little things gonna be alright…” This is my favorite picture from our daughter’s wedding. Puzzled? Mmmm I understand. No bride and groom, no artsy […]

riding earth
I have a kindred spirit in the Bedlam Creative group. We found each other sharing space for last years open house at the farm. Often her poetry speaks right from my own heart, so today in honor of Earth Day here is a post from the amazing Kate Rantilla

Crossroads of the heart
So fellow travelers, life’s passage has brought me to a bittersweet moment, as our daughter and son-in-law set out for their new life across the country. This is a good beginning, one they have diligently saved for and worked hard to reach. They are excited to be setting out on a trip of a lifetime, […]

Dawn
So fellow travelers, there’s a post brewing which requires cutting a few heart strings. Needless to say it’s one worth taking time to craft carefully. As that process unfolds I find poems awakening, asking to be heard. Often they require a photo expedition to create the appropriate images. Here is the latest. A thread […]

Unspoken
So fellow travelers, recently in both my online and “inlife” communities people have shared some deep feelings driven by major events beyond their control. The responses of support have been a moving reminder we are not alone; if we reach out there are many hands are extended to help. I strive always in my life […]

Spring Migration
So fellow travelers, I am always writing in my head and taking mental snapshots, even when I cannot take a physical photo (for example when driving on a major interstate highway in a torrential downpour.) When it pleases the whimsy of the gods, the words stick in my mind long enough to record. Today […]
