Michael, I am so glad I found you. Your writing, your observations and your photos are a great inspiration as I ponder my next chapter. I have always considered myself a "home body". I have loved making a beautiful home. Now, empty nester and alone, I wonder what it would look like for me to consider other ways of living. It is exciting, and yet, we all know every journey out is also a journey in. That great work of discovering ourselves more deeply. I pray I am brave enough to follow wherever that trail leads.

As to other trails, I begin my day with a piece by Enrico Morricone, these days Gabiole's Oboe. So exquisite. My day thus begins with beauty. I have a slew of books before me, my paints waiting, the woods calling.

One very blessed day at a time.

Traveling mercies!

Jacqueline

That song! The first time I heard it was watching "The Misson"! One of my all time favorite films! Here's to the courage to follow the Joy bread crumbs in your life every day.

Also Morricone's piece from Cinema Paradiso, one of my all time favorite films!! Open up the doors and windows and let the music sing back to those birds.
