So, fellow travelers, for the past two weeks I have been awake in an amazing dream called Portland.  During this period I only had access to media through my phone.  I kept notes by journaling and posting phone shots on my Facebook Wall. For the next few days, in between laundry, a mountainous backlog of mail and reclaiming the garden and pond from weeds and algae respectively, I will be sorting through over 500 camera shots and writing about the trip.  For now, I am left with the haunting feeling something profoundly life changing has happened.

True to a Japanese book, let me start at the other end.

Haiku for Takara and Joe

Sun sets mountains glow

Adventure comes to an end

Love says we’ll return

More to come….

Walk gently on the path my friends and may adventure find you ready.
