Not by Sight
When the world dims, another kind of light begins to appear. This is a story of losing some sight and learning to see, not what is visible, but what endures.

The whole weekend was a sabbath for the soul, an intentional setting aside of work and the demands of daily life for recovery and rest.
The last day of summer
As a Floridian, I still marvel at the frenetic northern cycle of playing hard for a couple of months and then packing things away, bracing for months of cold.
I’m falling
Fall is not my favorite season, although I’d rather not jump straight to winter. I’ll miss the front porch and the long walks, the wild flowers and the songbirds.
