So fellow travelers, we’ve had some spectacular sunsets. One benefit to the early onset of darkness is I get to catch these views on our afternoon walks. I send my love to our youngest daughter with that setting sun knowing its rising in Tokyo. Day ends in glory Fire edged front at sunset Joy from […]

One more wish
So fellow travelers an early morning dog run revealed an unexpected treasure in our frost bitten yard. How blessed am I to be given these moments of Zen, the simple quiet reminders that darkness and fear always pass yet Light and Peace live eternally in our hearts.

Haiku for November
So fellow travelers, the last of autumn’s burnished browns and golden yellows have been blown away by several days of steady high winds.

This morning as our […]

The Memory of Leaves
So fellow travelers, all Sunday afternoon my husband and I scurried about to finish the yard chores before the gift of strangely warm weather ended. Usually by this time in the season, we are outside working in winds so chilly it is not uncommon to see snow flurries drifting among the last of the falling […]

So fellow travelers, as I walked our dog this evening and caught this vision of light from the setting sun, a beautiful and comforting thought occurred to me. The sun I was watching set was at that same time rising above Tokyo where our daughter is learning to make her way in the world. While […]

Late Summer Haiku
So fellow travelers, today was our school district’s opening day (we hit BTS later than most areas, largely I think because the New York State Fair runs through Labor Day and there are a LOT of local teens who work at the fair). It was hot. Forget dog days of summer hot, more like angry […]
