The why and wherefore

I’ve long believed that each person has a story to tell, that even the most ordinary life has moments of radiance.  In many ways I have spent my life chasing those moments, volcanos have been climbed, castles explored, sunsets reveled in, and lifelong friendships made.  In spite of this, recently I have felt very predictable, bound by responsibilities that seem to to limit my ability to recognize the adventure that my own life is.  I hope that this blog will serve as a reminder to myself and to whoever else may wander by that the small things in life, as well as the breathtaking moments, are what make each day worth living.  Whoever you are, wherever you are, your story is worth the telling.

The beginning

The screen door to the patio is open, for the first time in weeks there is a cool breeze.  I sit at the white coffee table with my hands on the keyboard and I am writing again.
