I live in the country, in a small town with a little over four thousand residents. Our center consists of a bank, a tiny post office, and a pizza joint with really delicious food.

This morning I woke from an insightful dream. I had driven my SUV onto the sand of a local beach, walked to the shoreline, and prepared to step into the icy water. It was a sunny, windless day and I was anxious to feel the exhilaration of a quick swim. As I stood looking out […]
The sparkling white of new-fallen snow is a welcome visitor this morning after the blackout of yesterday’s storm.

As I stare at the scene before me, I think about how beauty animates life in the most gratifying way. My fingers and I are taking a break from machines this week to […]
Sitting by the window in the early morning light, I watch geese glide across the inky blue reservoir below. Like shooting stars in the night sky, they leave trails of light in their wake making a moment I know I’ll always remember. Moments. When I look back over my life, the memories that stand out […]
