So fellow travelers, this morning’s moment of zen brought this view and these words Under the canopy bathed in forest healing wisdom of the ages sinks in and heals my heart While doing Qi Quong to stretch out the inevitable stiffness which goes with sleeping in a tent, I looked up . Much like the […]

Can You Breathe?
My first thought when I got up today was, “It is a perfect morning for a long walk,” and indeed it is. Sunny, low humidity, with just enough of a breeze to ward off the bugs. Judging from the cheerful chorus which greeted me as Delilah and I headed outside, my backyard residents agree. Delilah scurried […]

Of Squirrels and Hope
So fellow travelers, a key turning point in my adult life came when a meditation teacher gave me permission to stop “shoulding” on myself. Or as Master Yoda might put it “do or do not, that is all.” The fact is, current reality* leaves me little time and even less energy for writing. The amount […]

Now What ?
So fellow travelers, while I have considered this space as a kind of creative “thinking out loud,” there has always been an underlying hope that my writing has served some purpose beyond my own musings. If an uplifting haiku, an eye catching photo or a bit of humor brings joy or even insight to some […]

Living in a Snow Globe
So fellow travelers, the Big News in our corner of the Upstate neighborhood is that our city is BEHIND in the annual Golden Snowball Race. For those who don’t reside in the snowbelt of Upstate NY ( which I think the majority of my readers can gratefully say they do not) the Golden Snowball is […]

Home Away from Home
So fellow travelers, this weekend brought a much needed road trip through beautiful snow kissed valleys and mountains and, more essentially, some greatly appreciated time with several good friends . Which is why my favorites views on this trip were actually from two different windows Sunrise at the Quarry Morning at the foot of Mt […]

The Hole in the Sky
So fellow travelers, as so often is the way of this world a wave of busyness took over almost every spare moment of the past three weeks. The irony of this following my last post was not lost on me. I was acutely aware, even a bit distressed, about not taking time to continue writing […]

November Zen
So fellow travelers, as Michelle #GratitudeWeek2019 continues the prompt for today is to think about what (or who) we might take for granted. What came to mind was time. What came to mind was……. time…… Today I had a dentist appointment and even though I ended up having a filling repaired I felt grateful. Because […]

So fellow travelers, todays #GratitudeWeek2019 prompt from Michelle GD was to slow down and practice noticing what she calls “the tiny moments.” This is something I have become more attuned to since my Spirit of Sixty Road Trip, two summers back. Actually, it is a habit I feel I am really reclaiming because I remember […]
