  1. Jeni – I want to know what is over that hill, around that bend. I want to live life to the full as much as I can. ... and I want to share what I see and experience with you.

    It looks like a road in a fairy tale or scary story. Must we travel it?

        You are so right

  2. chelawriter – I thought retirement would give me more time to write, but as with may others, my experience of retirement so far is that it is far busier than my employment years. Two wild fires with evacuations and extensive damage to my home have not helped. Repairs are almost complete, and fingers crossed things will settle down so I can post more often.

  4. Cynthia Guenther Richardson – Pacific NW – Hello fellow readers and bloggers, Writing has always been a powerful connector to diverse ideas and people. We each are a meaningful part of this beautiful, ever-widening web of life. Blogging enables more interaction, which I love even after 11 years of blogging posts on three different sites. For thirty years I was an addictions/mental health counselor and also a manager of home care services for elderly folks. Now that I have hit 70 and am more devoted to a creative life! I've published online or in literary journals/collections several times, including fiction and creative non-fiction pieces and poetry over five decades. Additionally, I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for an excerpt of my novel-in-progress, Other than Words (the work gathering dust at present), about a mute dancer and her impact on her adopted community and a world-travelling photojournalist. I also am working on a connected set of stories about a close-knit town in northern Michigan. On Wordpress I enjoy writing about living richly despite (or because of) life's setbacks and a diagnosis of heart disease at age 51. Posts tagged "memoir" share spiritual adventures, interactions with nature, the healing of trauma's impact and challenges of writing full-time. Short stories and creative nonfiction, and poetry are favorite genres but I enjoy sharing my photography as well My hope is my offerings reflect a profound faith in God and our humanness which cloaks spiritual natures. I include myself as part of the diverse group of writers who discover and share the illuminating, positive experiences amid life's uncertainties and hardships. Let me hear from you when you visit--I appreciate your comments a great deal. Blessings and regards, Cynthia

  5. David Hobart – La Valletta, Malta – I am a hobo, a wanderer through life and the world, a thorn blown by the wind who imagines that he thinks... If we think, do we really exist? I started writing on the blog because I believe it is important to leave something behind my boring existence and, above all, to give back to the world a part of what it has given me.
    David Hobart says:

    I once climbed a mountain as a solitary tourist. The road made many detours and did not even reach the top, so I had to go straight through the forest, following untrodden paths…
    I do not believe in “given” roads. We must choose our own road, and if it does not exist, we must build it ourselves. It is a fundamental law of human evolution, otherwise we are nothing more than automatons, poor creatures subject to fate. But man must be above his fate.

    1. Are you aware of the very ancient haiku:

      O traveler
      There is no road
      The road is made by walking

      1. Anna – I was not aware. So thanks so much! I will add it to my “commonplace book” where I collect poems and words that touch my heart.

  7. I’ve followed your blog for many many years. Thanks for many hours of enjoyment. I loved this post so much I made a post exploring it in my own blog.

  8. judybarton – Still in love, complicated, almost stupid, interested to recognize herself. "Up to the age of eighteen years old everybody writes poems; after, only two categories of people may continue to do it: poets and idiots." (Benedetto Croce). Obviously I do not consider myself a poet.

    Yes: as our life
