Funny (or serendipitous) how the Forces fighting for us toss out those lifelines at the peak of necessity. This morning when frustration had just about hit peak implosion, Tom’s moving post appeared in my reader feed. Reading his thoughts which echoed many of my own I felt a wave of relief pushing back at those …
The Gravity of Illusion
So fellow travelers, those moments we pass through when changes come so fast and furious we lose sight of all points of reference like being caught in a vicious riptide until exhausted, we cease to struggle and in letting go find ourselves drifting, free at last from the current and able to swim to shore. …
Zen Moment Finding Light
So fellow travelers, the Light this morning on my way to work was enticing. Sunrise cast a spell on trees and fields, turning everything rose gold. Delicate clouds danced across a pristine blue sky hinting of adventures to be discovered. Yet on I drove, yearning to catch these elusive moments knowing how quickly they dissipate …
Zen Moment Sunburst
So fellow travelers, lately the emotions of long distance love have stretched some heartstrings to near break point. When family fills your heart, miles bridging months expanding into years sometime seem vast beyond reason. More so when one’s immediate purpose has lost its drive. I’ve always said I never wanted to become one of those …
Sailing with Vinnie, part two
So fellow travelers, the painting from last week’s little art adventure has been perched on an easel nagging at me to reconsider it’s merits. Those iconic Van Gogh swirls are harder to achieve than they look. Vincent’s famous Starry Night The studio which hosted the fundraiser I attended offers an SOS event once a month. Save …
Sailing with Vinnie
So fellow travelers, just a little artwork from a fun “Painting with a Purpose” event celebrating Vincent Van Gogh’s birthday. Raising funds for the PwP artist’s grant program seemed a fitting way to honor him. Artists struggle to make a decent livelihood, in fact, Van Gogh sold only a few paintings in his …
Zen moment
So fellow travelers, the bizarre circus continues at work yet so far the foundation of calm from my random zen moment last week has held fast. Today, the sound of long awaited bird songs triggered a deep yearning to be Elsewhere. The sky grew rosy with morning light. I took a mental picture and let …
Random Bliss
So fellow travelers, work has been whackadoodle (shout out to fellow blogger Tom Atkins for finding the perfect descriptive terminology.) Going into week three of this chaotic spin it’s starting to take a toll on me. When incidents I’d normally consider as “outliers” keep happening, I find myself starting to question my perception and grasp …
Hiding in Plain Sight
So fellow travelers, for those of us who find solace and sanctuary on the trails and byways outside, March is a tough month to get through in Upstate New York. A favorite tree in a snow covered field a few days before the Vernal Equinox. Once in a while, a little miracle comes along to remind …
