Push This

In a small southern California town, at the perfect intersection between late afternoon & early evening, when the day has only one direction to move in; a man & his 3 year old daughter stand before a gas pump. Both are side lit by the curtsying sun, laying it’s evening light down...

best-away-place

I have learned in the way we do without necessarily setting out to, that being away & change, all have the potential to lend perspective & add fuel to the heart, the mind, the imagination. And being away in the right place is the best away. Here I sit in my other home, a place I came...

The Grey and Thoughtful Days of Winter 2012

ex-montrealer-toronto-love.

How do I (post-montrealer abashment) embrace if not love, Toronto? Let me count the ways:   Bike. Bike down Strachan to Lakeshore, then along the strung-out lake front trail, peddling west through well-tended parkland, squawking lake-gulls & brazen Canadian Geese (all settling...
