Direction
Gull Lake, MN | July 2012
If my aim is true I head in the direction I intend.
My velocity is the effort I put into that aim and the depth is a product of that effort.
If my aim misses then I must accept I have ended up in a direction differing from my vision but if I accept I will always better my depth.
Should time run out and I no longer can take aim and cast out, then it will be time to turn in and savor all that has past before.

“A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature.
It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Rock Hunter 2012
Lake Superior | Lutsen, MN 2012
My grandmother taught me how to hunt rocks
she showed me how to study and
delicately view each stone
to examine the qualities
texture, color, shape
when I feel the weight of a stone in my hand
there is a vibration, a connection
as if I am holding the hand of my grandmother

When living in the land of ice and snow, or in the case of this winter…
brown and gray
Green is always a welcome color, now just waiting for the smell of fresh cut grass and earth
