To this day I still give great thanks for this little barn apartment (both begun & completed in 2010 on Alexzanna Farms), for here I was blessed to reside during the latter half of this same year, to this day one of the most productive service-years of my life … “If you have been in […]
In October of that same year I headed to Rhode Island to help a dear Friend “close up shop” before leaving the country (she worked at the time for Doctors Without Borders), and ended up soaking in the wondrous peace of Narragansett Beach while I was there … “Have you ever walked along a beach? […]
During that fall’s Thanksgiving holidays, I reveled in leading my nieces & nephews on a long walk through the woods to a secluded cave near Alexzanna Farms … “In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration … Always there has been an adventure just around the corner […]
On April 10th of this year I set out from Alexzanna Farms (in Wildwood, Georgia) to walk a 900+ mile Peace Pilgrimage to Pompano Beach (near Miami, Florida); doing so purely “on faith”, neither using nor accepting any money along the way, fasting until offered food and walking until offered shelter … (A partial record […]
These images show Highway 11 & Highway 41, the two major roadways alongside which I trekked for the majority of this pilgrimage (at least until I eventually made it to Gainesville in Florida) … “We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or […]
And then, on May 20th of this same year after some 40 days of walking, I indeed arrived in Lighthouse Point, having covered over 900 miles (over 650+ of it on foot). While looking for a place to celebrate with that morning’s sunrise, I passed a gorgeous plumeria tree much like the one pictured — […]
Later that same summer I headed out to lovely Seattle (Washington) to visit with my dear Friends Becky & Peter Nelson, and then spent several lovely weeks house-sitting for them – writing in their home while caring for (and being cared for by) their cool cat, Ozzy, while they traveled the Galapagos Islands … “Humankind […]
Thereafter I headed briefly to Chicago (Illinois) to visit with several dear Friends, including the amazing Loevy boys – Ethan, Carter, & Oliver … “Chicago is a city of contradictions, of private visions haphazardly overlaid and linked together. If the city was unhappy with itself yesterday – and invariably it was – one could always […]
Then, for the months of September & October of this year, I headed back to New Smyrna Beach (Florida) to house-sit for a Friend and care for (and far more often be cared for by) my good buddy, Simon – her 19-year old cat. This sweet guy taught me quite a bit about gentleness and […]
Then, after having officially opened my first Facebook page back in the fall of 2010, my conversations & communiques on that social platform really begin to pick up steam a year later … “We need a paradigm shift in which we build communities that cultivate the voices of unique individuals, who then bring forth the […]
And then in December of that same year I was invited to visit Germany once again and after arriving, I was blessed to head twice to the amazing Stuttgart Christmas Market (the largest Christmas Market in the world) to hear Duncan sing there … “Singing — it cannot stop everything; cannot halt death in its […]
