“Wandering, sometimes lost” Photo/art credit: Reena Kapoor

Dear Reader: Welcome!

I find myself squarely in “middle age” and intrusive questions have begun presenting themselves. I want to know if/what my fellow travelers think about them. So in 2021 I decided to launch this newsletter? I actually don’t know what to call it because it’s not “news”, and I find “blog” very 2001-ish so I don’t know what it is, and it doesn’t matter, but I guess it is a letter I send out regularly to life—and to you, dear reader.

“To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.”
―Anne Rice

So what will you find here?

A lot of poems, often with commentary, short stories—including 100-word stories—and finally, essays on topics that present themselves. My posts always come with my photos/photo-art, a lot more of which is housed on Instagram—the only social media I currently indulge.

I share these creations, with the audacious hope that they might brighten your days, or help both of us dig a little deeper into what makes this ride meaningful or even help me—or I daresay, you—find new direction when darkness or opacity threatens. Whatever it is, if I’m able to bring you a momentary joy or recognition of life or even a temporary resonance, I will be thrilled!
