Chasing Light : Daffodil Whisper

So fellow travelers, reviewing the photos from yesterday morning’s adventure (“Was that you crouched on the sidewalk taking photos by the library ?” a coworker asked me when I got to work) I found one I meant to include. I was going to add it the previous post until I heard the whisper of a […]

Chasing Light : Morning Daffodils

So fellow travelers, once again on my morning drive to work,  the light was wondrous. As I posted recently this can be both a source of joy and frustration. Today driving past the public library in town,  I caught sight of these daffodils in the morning light. With a school bus behind me I was […]

Lighting the Lamps of Hope

“For hope to have substance,  it has to acknowledge the pain. But hope is saying that’s not the final story. It’s not saying pain doesn’t exist,  but it’s saying there isn’t a period at the end of that sentence .” Tim Foreman.

So fellow travelers, thoughts on how I grew to love laundry   The simplest tasks Become safe haven in storms Chaos kept at bay   Walk gently on the path my friends and may adventure find you ready.

Chasing Light

So fellow travelers, the light as I was driving into work a few days ago was incredible. Incredibly poetic and incredibly frustrating too. Driving past image after image I longed to capture, unable stop all I could do was take mental snapshots and make notes of shots to get on a future morning off, provided of course […]

… on a message from your sponsor

A most excellent post from Lisa Dingle. I hope I have managed to raise my daughters with a bit of this wisdom too.

Return to Sterling: Lakeside

So fellow travelers, if there is one lesson I have learned and taken to heart, it is this: When my soul is restless, when something is amiss, when my body, mind and spirit are out of sync there is only one reliable remedy I can take. I take a hike, or at the very least […]

Fortune Teller’s Bones

So fellow travelers, I used this imagery twice in recent posts so I took some time to listen closely until a haiku emerged. Cruel winds rattle leaves Hollow fortune telling bones Winter lingers long and now we return to the trail at Sterling …. Walk gently on the path my friends and may adventure find […]
