I’ve used this photo in a post before but like it so much I thought I’d re-post it (It’s borrowed from Sustrans). I thought I’d re-post this photo because I was thinking recently–contemplating, really–about what the hell I’m doing. What I mean by this is why, at nearly 50, do I still prefer to walkContinue reading “Age, Dignity, and Bicycling”

>October Moon
> Full moon last night…as it still is, just can’t see it. Took the photo without a flash; you can see how bright the evening was even with thin clouds. Looks sort of ominous doesn’t it. Beautiful.

>Crows in a Tree

>Burning Bush
> I walk under this burning bush to enter the rear door of my place of employment…more like a burning canopy. Incredible. Yesterday it seemed to be illuminated. It’s easy to see why it has this name.

>Miracle In A Chilean Desert

>After The Rain…and how sometimes I’d rather use my feet
> I like walking; I always have. This may seem like an obvious statement because it’s something we have to do on a daily basis, but it’s not. Let me qualify this by saying I’d rather, if distance permits, walk than ride in a car. Sometimes I’d even rather walk than ride my bike. NowContinue reading “>After The Rain…and how sometimes I’d rather use my feet”

>Coexistence
> On the 9th anniversary of 9/11 I pray for not only the people lost in the tragic event and the grieving family members that were left behind, but also for our nation and the world as a whole. I truly believe that our only hope for self-preservation–opposed to self-annihilation–is to coexist with one another.Continue reading “>Coexistence”
