Tonight I caught a brief glimpse of something vast and expansive. It began with an actual, visual glimpse (in this case it was a lone star shining briefly through the clouds). But what unfolded before me (and, perhaps, within me) was far more than anything visual...
I am midway through my 69th trip around the sun, and only now am I even beginning to feel really comfortable in my own skin. There is so much more to learn. Of that I am sure. But lately, for what seems the first time, I find myself catching glimpses of my place in...
This is my last evening in this interesting place. I wandered further south and noticed that it appears the goblins are not as far along in the evolutionary process. It would be fun to come back in a thousand years (or perhaps a million) and see what has become of them.
Goblin Valley State Park in Utah is a most remarkable place. I went for a walk at sunrise (before the heat) and was (once again) inspired!
This morning I take off for a big road trip adventure. I won’t be back in Boulder until early September. Along the way I will have the joyous privilege of spending time with 5 daughters, all but one of my grandkids, both of my siblings, and numerous friends. I will...

Well, my first post-Camino day was interesting. Didn’t get to bed until midnight last night, but still came awake sometime between 4 and 5. Went for a walk, but resisted the urge to put on my backpack (didn’t actually require much effort to resist). The first thing...

Camino - Day 40 - Santiago Well, this has been quite a day! It began in O Pedrouza, which is 20km from Santiago. I started off in the dark and my spirits were surprisingly high. I was smiling and full of energy in a way that had been absent for several days. I felt...
Camino - Day 39 I began the day about 40km from Santiago (approximately 5% of the total distance from Saint Jean, as it turns out). I ended the day about 20km from Santiago, which is exactly my preferred distance to walk in a day. That means, if I’m doing the math...
