Wisps

Standing on newly frozen lake shore watching the ice reflection the sunset…thinking about wisps of heaven

My “before it snows” list is way too long. Harvest first is my motto. That goes out the window when family visits. Somewhere between the lines, the garden, hunting, fishing, dehydrating and freezing food for the long winter take precedence. I’m almost 500 emails behind and hope it doesn’t reach a thousand before the snowContinue reading “Before Snow”

On My Watch

Wilderness trips are a lot like life

Wilderness Wander

What a wilderness trip. I learned I am an old young guy in body and heart.

Winter Spring Summer

We have had Winter spring and summer all in 30 days

Seasonal War

How much am I really living now?? Maybe that’s not even a good question. How warm areContinue reading “When Life Is Cold”

Meandering Through Autumn

To meander is anticultural. Think about being in the grocery store or on the freeway. These people grate on society. Bill yourself as a “meandering comedian” and you will be hustled off stage by a “handler.” Stop to take pictures of a flower on a state park walking trail and you will soon hear “outContinue reading “Meandering Through Autumn”

SEASONED

Wilderness canoe expedition #70 for me. The visible part of me made it back to civilization. Reflections from one’s memories shimmer and dissipate quickly unless held onto by my minds pondering hands. I still see the first light stealthily through the thick fog. I replay the invisible swan honks, haunting loons, beaver slaps, eagles chirping,Continue reading “SEASONED”
