… on ‘we’, the people

I’m with Dingle.

Mysts of Yesteryear

So fellow travelers, there’s a tree I drive past every morning on my way to work. It stands full and strong, in a wide open field, steadfast in its solitary reign. I never tire of the image as it shifts subtly through the seasons. Some mornings this Tree is my reminder to stand quietly through […]

Zen moment The Mahjong Tree

So fellow travelers, I have arrived at a quiet retreat center for a weekend of creative adventures with several friends. Early morning bird calls had me out walking a dew laden trail where I came around a corner and startled a small flock of goldfinches. They swooped up to the shelter of a large tree […]

So fellow travelers, as I mentioned yesterday I am on an extended weekend trip visiting friends. Dawn at a rest stop Taking a few days for myself at the end of the school year is something I’ve been doing for several years.  Whether I camp  at a favorite spot or take a quick road trip […]

Morning Grace

So fellow travelers, I woke this morning to birds songs and golden light in tall pine trees Such sweet melodies following a pre-dawn serenade of coyote calls would be grace enough to fill my heart with happiness.  Yet blessings abound this morning as I take in the joy of spending some time with my good […]

Where have all the humans gone? Is civility dead?

A most excellent piece on a most essential point from my friend Kathy Dewez
