What Crosses My Mind

  • The Holidays Are Upon Me

    I’m going to try to tell you a little story. The holidays can have a unique impact on our lives, for so many different reasons.

  • When Last We Imagine

    It isn’t until we know, that we decide we won’t go down that path again, we want to, want to stay there, watch the leaves turn see the beauty laid out before us, when no one need be nearby to remind us of just what was there all this while all this time energy spent…

  • A Week in the Wood and a Lake

    I spent the week in one of my favorite places, along the shores of Lake Superior. I camped in the Temperance river, and fished, hiked, and took a bike ride. But the most telling moments of the week were reaching the summit of Eagle Mountain, and sitting on a rock next to the shoreline watching…
