So fellow travelers, home again and a heavenly aroma fills my kitchen. One downside to traveling rather than hosting for Thanksgiving is not having the base to make turkey soup, which stands out as my favorite Thanksgiving leftover. No worries this year though, as my sister-in-law gave me a carcass, drumsticks and wings from one …
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 …
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 …

Chasing the Sun
So fellow travelers, proof sunrises are beautiful even from inside a plane. Just above the clouds The sun is always rising Hope’s within our reach I even got to hold first light for a very brief moment Walk gently on the path my friends and may adventure find you ready.
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~ …
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 …
Becoming Stardust
So fellow travelers, next stop on this summer’s big trip : Joshua Tree National Park by day it is a fantastical place of mysterious rock formations and Seuss-like vistas but it was the discovery of a little observatory located just down the road from the JTNP Oasis Visitor Center which provided the …
