So fellow travelers, this has been quite the week of mixed messages. A few decades ago, in my more pugnacious days I would have exerted tremendous effort in sorting the squabbles out. Presently, being in a transitional phase as work wanes towards retirement, I’m leaning towards an unusually benign state of letting the babble die […]

Eggs-istential Hunt
So fellow travelers, it seems this morning’s little haiku has opened a gateway to a lot more words and an awareness of what was missing. As more experiences in my daily life connect to my inner journey, it has become impossible to filter Spirit out of my writing. Close friends and fellow creatives tell me […]

Easter Blossoms
So fellow travelers, today is Easter Sunday and it dawned appropriately shrouded in mist. Being in a bit of a fog myself lately, this mood of ponderous mystery felt somewhat comforting, as if the gods and goddesses of earth and air had gently acknowledged my dispassionate sentiments. Unable to voice the emotions eddying within and […]

Birds Doing New Things
While I head out to clear snow (yes it’s still snowing on and off in March- ah Spring in Upstate NY) from my own backyard birdfeeders to keep the early spring migrants well fueled against the return of Winter-like temperatures I thought my Fellow Travelers might enjoy a trip to a bird sanctuary in warmer […]

A Different Choice
So fellow travelers, a series of winter weather fronts has laid down layers of thick ice concealed beneath pristine, powder soft coatings of fresh snow. Walking even a few steps has become a treacherous undertaking; I fell hard in my driveway getting out of the car a few days ago. Fortunately the fall resulted in […]

Atmospheric Pressure
“Your thoughts are the atmosphere through which you move.” Hugh Prather So fellow travelers, the quote above was the recent thought for the day from an inspirational calendar which sits in a spot I walk by several times a day. It syncs nicely with this line from a book I am reading : “What are […]

After two consecutive major winter […]

Walking Towards the Light
So fellow travelers, even after hitting “publish,” the last entry felt incomplete, yet I had resolved to start writing again, so I pushed an ending onto it and posted the first entry for the year. It felt more like the final entry for last year and on thinking so, this quote came to mind: “So […]

Digging Out
So fellow travelers, Winter Storm Harper has me spending this extended weekend digging out in more ways than shoveling snow. “Pixie Dust ?” Really, Mike Seidel? Because S*N*O*W by any other name is still a four letter word which needs to be repeatedly shoveled. When I sat down to write my end of the year […]

Reflections
So fellow travelers, 2018 draws to a close and time spent sorting through photos has me reflecting on the vast expanse of experiences this year brought. Sunrise in the High Desert For all the darkness of the low points which framed the first half of the year, I am beginning to glean the significance of […]
