Going Back
I awoke this morning to the sounds of horses – a mare and a foal looking for one another and then reuniting. I looked out across treetops to the ocean, reveling in the beauty – and realized that I’d made … Continue reading

Turning Pages
Everything, Everything is (Subject to Change) – I’m pretty good with that one, but I really should have looked twice at my “Confirmation Number” – which is mostly letters, not numbers, and turned out to be a warning in thin … Continue reading

cohabitation
I’ve always dreamed of an inside-outside house. A dwelling place where the boundaries get a little blurred and I don’t feel so much like I’m trapped in a box. The dogs and cats appreciate not having to wait for a … Continue reading

The Muchness of it All
In five weeks this ride will be done. Minot, Maine will be a real place full of real people in my heart – rather than a spot on a map, a destination and a bunch of e-mails full of plans. … Continue reading
