“I want to live so densely.
lush.
and slow in the next few years,
that a year becomes ten years,
and my past becomes only a page in the book of my life.” ~Nayyirah Waheed

My sister and I recently took a quick road trip to the eastern shore to look at a property where we hope to create future memories with our families. With no small children around, we had the chance to catch up on everything—talking about our kids, our partners, our parents, our jobs, and our everyday lives. I took pictures out of the passenger-side window while she played her favorite Taylor Swift songs for us to sing along to. We were already on our way to making memories.

I'm excited to embrace a fresh approach: the reverse "Field of Dreams"! Instead of 'build it and they will come,' I'm diving into 'paint it and go there.' Painting retreat in the Cotswolds anybody?

“I aspire to be
an old man
with an old wife
laughing at old jokes
from a wild youth.” ~ Atticus Poetry

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.” ~ Gilda Radner

Living in Maryland allows us to experience all four seasons. We have the frost, snow, and gray skies of winter; the budding greenery and rains of spring; the warmth and humidity of summer; and the bounty of autumn with its crisp air and bright sun. Driving through our state at any time of year reveals the unique gifts each season offers. As a child, summer was always my favorite season. However, as an adult, I've discovered that my heart belongs to fall.
Exploring the countryside in late October showcases stunning views: bright blue skies, the sun's warmth, and the crunch of harvested fields. For some reason, I find myself frequently snapping photos from the car window of these empty fields. Over time, I've come to realize that wheat fields symbolize community and interconnectedness. The cultivation and harvesting of wheat require collective effort and cooperation. This crop exemplifies the interdependence between humans and nature, highlighting the importance of working together for the greater good. Wheat serves as a powerful symbol of the unity and harmony that can be achieved when people come together to support and sustain one another. Ultimately, it reminds us of life's fundamental aspects and our connection to the natural world.
