Morning Water and Vespa Scooter I always look out windows. Wherever I am, whatever I’m doing, there’s a hope of actually seeing the world. Sitting in the back seat of the car next to my granddaughter it was interesting to watch her young eyes peer out the window at the world. I wondered how different […]

Riding Freedom: Scooter in the Mountains

Fog on the Mountain Standing in the yard with the dogs this morning I could see fog on the mountain. The scooter moves toward it like a compass needle points north. I feel the draw. And I feel the pressure of responsibility to work, or take care of the incessant business of life. A friend […]

Lost in Thought The past couple weeks I’ve had a lot on my mind — everything from retirement to installing a freeze-proof faucet on the back deck. When my head gets full of ideas and wants to ruminate I’ve learned to sit back and let it happen. Resistance is futile. My friend Paul made this […]

Fading in the Rain

Writing while fading in the rain An afternoon apart from the office, a mistaken sense of freedom fueled by a dream of riding the Vespa. Somewhere. Anywhere.
