So fellow travelers, I was working on a followup to my last post, just because there were a few thoughts still rattling around my mid-year exam week addled brain. I had a good beginning, all about how being in art class reminded me of the importance of perspective and how that’s a lesson which applies […]

Letting in Light
So fellow travelers, there are times on the journey when we encounter something which triggers such a strong response, we find ourselves reacting without thinking. I had such an experience yesterday and it had me throwing around thoughts so distracting, I had to get them out of my heart and mind. Early this morning, I […]

Winter Dogs
So fellow travelers, this beautiful photo popped up on my feed this morning. Taken by Nancy Gallimore, the joy she’s captured here warmed my heart (and slightly frozen appendages) this morning. I posted a happy comment and then realized there was a haiku brewing in those words. She graciously gave me permission to repost her […]

Winter Sunburst
So fellow travelers, a hopeful haiku this morning with an image gleaned from the prolonged weekend snows, just a little affirmation life’s storms eventually pass and Light returns.

An Avalanche of Memories
So fellow travelers, a wintry mix of sleet and heavy snow shut down my weekend plans for a reunion with some of my creative tribemates. Little did I know the weekend storm had an avalanche in the works as well. As a veteran resident of Upstate New York winters, I have a high tolerance for […]

Snow Day
So fellow travelers, our first heavy snowfall of the season closed schools this morning. Whenever I have the gift of a snowday I try to resist the inclination to do ordinary tasks. All that cleaning, sorting, paperwork and mundane “to do’s” can wait until the weekend as usual. An unexpected day off is a chance […]

Listening for Truth
So fellow travelers, sometimes we learn a lot about people by their reactions when the consequences of their choices begin to set in. I try to listen for the voices of healing for those are the companions I wish to walk with on my journey through this life. I strive not to judge others for […]

Wrapping Memories
So fellow travelers, as New Year’s weekend came to a close, the annual not-so-popular tradition of packing up Christmas tagged along. Putting away the festive trinkets and wrappings of the season is always a little bittersweet, but this time with Favorite Youngest Daughter returning to Tokyo at the end of the week tugged a bit […]

Choosing Light
So fellow travelers, I have been at a specific crossroad on my path for a while. I knew which direction I both needed and wanted to go, yet unsure of the timing, I hesitated to take the next necessary step. This morning on my way to mail a VIP (Very Important Package) I was waiting […]
