Poet. Writer. Photographer. Nature-Lover.
A deeper connection lingers, clings to the last drop of hope, frozen in time to allow us one last opportunity to catch its saving, quenching sustenance to coat that ache, that thirst, that rawness for what our souls were created to desire. I reach for you in a moment of vulnerability, in a moment in … Continue reading Last Drop
The theme for this week's Lens-Artist Challenge #80 is Leading Lines. After spending way too long going through my photos and selecting some of my "prize-winning" shots, I came to this one and halted. My eyes watered, too. Although this image does not at first appear beautiful, its story is. The idea of lines in photography … Continue reading The Lines that Lead Us…
The windows I've peered out from in life have often been cracked with broken blinds and non-parallel slats, no out-of-the-ordinary views for I have not seen much "of the world" in terms of geography, only my local beautiful.

Some brave souls waded in the shallow waters. I dove headfirst off a rock into the deep. It was a … Continue reading Submersion

Every morning, the sun rises, the same yet anew, and uses yesterday's rain to remind us that the light and the green will always find a … Continue reading Cracks and Puddles
~ Let your soul lead you to the water, then set free your heart’s desires. ~ There is something about the sea that calls us. A universal, innate tugging that draws us out toward the coasts. The soft, lulling melody of distant waves like an ancient incantation seems to entrance our long-awaiting souls in psalm. … Continue reading The Call
Few analogies have I found or invented that are better at representing the division of past and future than the classic mountain ridge. Even from that perspective, though, perception of the future and bigger picture is limited. The immediate past comes into painfully-clear focus, but once we begin to descend into the future, that ridge … Continue reading Mountain and Sea
The romanticized, nostalgic idea of there being no place like home tugs on our heartstrings in the clicks of Dorothy’s iconic ruby slippers. I can’t help but wonder, though, what that ideal vision of home looked like in the minds and hearts of viewers then, and what it looks like now. At the time this … Continue reading Slipper Clicks and the Timeless Wish
