So fellow travelers, the rain this Spring has been relentless. I tell myself I can’t complain if I truly intend to move to the PNW, so, I take it as a kind of meteorological training program and I say things like, “At least we don’t have to shovel the driveway or brush off the car.” […]

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.

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 […]

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.

Saved by Gratitude
So fellow travelers, today in the United States it is Thanksgiving Day. It is my favorite holiday because it’s primary focus is on two of my favorite human experiences: family and food, wrapped in an atmosphere of my favorite spiritual practice: gratitude. Even though this is another year without our daughters joining us at the […]

Maybe Tomorrow
So fellow travelers, after packing in as much adventure as possible in these last few weeks of summer break I thought it was about time I got back to writing. Hunkered down with both the aircon and a fan going to ward off the heat advisory level humidity outside, there are no spectacular views to […]
