Eclipse
What links all these magnificent environments I’ve been blessed to visit? The common thread? Birds. Their song, while vocally unique to their breed, are joyous, unsolicited and a call to all to stop what we’re doing and listen. If you do, for more than… Continue Reading “Eclipse”
Lucky Enough
The sun warms my shoulders as the ocean re-charges my gaze as the gregarious Snow White singing birds kerchief my ears as teeming black tea stimulates my soft-focus high school yearbook portrait ala 1970s brain. Adjust the lens and it becomes clear, sharp, bursting… Continue Reading “Lucky Enough”
Ordinary Greatness
Hope and sparkling crystals and all things magical and misty-eyed are Queen Melancholy’s cousin.

Breaking Bad and other News of the Day
You’ve caught me in a Hope Diamond moment: I’m alone. In the apartment. Windows and blinds wide open—high winds and 30-degree temps be damned. I’m in short sleeves. Showered. Hair brushed.

When it rains, and rains, and rains and …
Now I’m a real nomad. It’s a new season. I’m in a new place. It’s been raining for the last five days and will continue to do so for the duration I’m camping along Coastal Oregon. This week’s deluge is unusual for September, local weather forecasters report. All… Continue Reading “When it rains, and rains, and rains and …”
On the Verge of Tomorrow
“There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day, there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, and tomorrow’s just a dream away.” I hummed along to that tune every time I walked from Disneyland through Downtown Disney to our hotel room.… Continue Reading “On the Verge of Tomorrow”
