So fellow travelers, Delilah and I just returned home from a quick walk. It is a luxurious 58 ° , the air smells like spring and the sun managed to sneak in a brief but brilliant appearance before the incoming front from the west shrouded the golden light in deep grey storm clouds. High over […]

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 […]

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 […]

Winter in Whiskey Hollow
So fellow travelers, the transition from Autumn to Winter has been grey, damp and chilly here in Central New York. Slight differences in temperatures determine whether it’s raining or snowing . Thick mats of wet leaves create slick patches almost as treacherous as ice. The sun is obscured by dense clouds for days at a […]

Autumn Glow
So fellow travelers, a few days ago a vision of wind driven golden light caught my eye from an upstairs window. I had taken a mental health day to reset my perspective and that day had brought sunshine and milder temperatures, rare gifts for November in upstate NY. I’ve been working on tying up some […]

Autumn Who Art Thou?
So fellow travelers, there’s some odd, unseasonable weather afoot this year. At least the bone chilling, soaking walks Delilah and I have endured gave rise to a bit of mood infused images and some poetic musings. Excuse me, hello Autumn ? Who have you become lately ? Weeping torrential Spring rains Howling Winter winds […]

Summer’s Gift
So fellow travelers, it took a Fire Dragon who appeared in the sky after a powerful thunderstorm, daring me to chase the sunset, to shake off the sadness of this passing of an extraordinary summer of adventures. As I ran through wet grass and puddles in the street words tumbled out in to this haiku~ […]

Bookends
So fellow travelers, today marks the start of a new solar year in this grand adventure of life. Reflecting on the bookends of the first and last days Team Fairbanks-Rahalski at the summit of Pinnacle Peak Trail in Rainier National Park I can see the origami of insights and growth created by the challenges weathered […]

Desperately Seeking Spring
So fellow travelers, mindful of the childhood lesson “If you can’t say something nice, it’s best to say nothing at all,” I’ve been silent here. Truth be said I have little which is positive I could say about work, this creative funk or lack of trail walking due the weather. There was this moment on […]
