Autumn Who Art Thou?

So fellow travelers, there’s some odd, unseasonable weather afoot this year. At least the bone chilling, soaking walks Delilah and I have endured gave rise to a bit of mood infused images and some poetic musings.   Excuse me, hello Autumn ? Who have you become lately ? Weeping torrential Spring rains Howling Winter winds […]

Being Mom

So fellow travelers, a few weeks ago this photo showed up in my messages. It took a little while for all my feelings to sort themselves into haiku rhythms. Little house on wheels Home is where the heart finds peace Under stately pines Favorite Youngest Daughter and her partner have set out on their quest […]

Finding the Shore Again

So fellow travelers, oh hey yes, I am still here, wandering about the trails of life’s journey. Summit Trail, Mt. Arab  New York Someone asked me recently if things had “become so terrible,” because I have not posted in quite a while. “Oh No,” I replied, “quite the contrary- my life is truly wonderful these […]

Chasing the Sun

So fellow travelers, proof sunrises are beautiful even from inside a plane. Just above the clouds The sun is always rising Hope’s within our reach I even got to hold first light for a very brief moment Walk gently on the path my friends and may adventure find you ready.

The Mom on the Southbound Train

So fellow travelers, reflecting on the many memorable moments which graced my week with this new found community, I could write posts for days to come. Who could ask for S’more than roasting marshmallows after the beach dinner concert? There is the story of  the dog who came  to the movies, the fan who would have […]

The Crow Who Came to Dinner

So fellow travelers, our first day of events came to a close with a marvelous dinner and concert by the band at an open air venue by the beach. Sitting around the tables, hearing the stories of how people first found Switchfoot’s inspiring music, what song was their favorite and why, where they came from […]

The Diner at the End of the Pier

So fellow travelers, traveling solo there are moments when the reality of being alone washes over you.  Eating in restaurants as a single patron is one of those times, so finding a spot with a welcoming vibe is a blessing.   Eggs on toast done right Comforts of home with a view Diners are a […]
