This Blog's Focus, or lack there of

Edith Wharton said "There are two ways of spreading light ...To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it." That's what this blog is about, how the light of other people and the world around me have reflected off and in me. . .or other things when I need to write about other things, like walking, lizards, or fruit. There will be pictures of plants. All pictures are taken by me, unless noted.

I say what's on my mind, when it's there, and try to only upload posts that won't hurt or offend readers. However, readers may feel hurt or offended despite my good intentions. Blog-reading is a matter of free choice, that's what I have come to love about it, so if you are not pleased, surf on and/or leave a comment. I welcome any and all kind-hearted commentary.

It's 2012 and my current obsessions are writing and walking, sometimes at the same time. And books. I'm increasingly fascinated by how ebooks are transforming the physical book, forcing it to do more than provide printed words on a page.

Joyful Things

I thought to start this blog with a purpose, a focus, one thing to write about, like my heroes, knitting, the environment, but that is too unlike how my mind works. I will say this: these are the things that bring me joy and for this year I'm making more room for joy, as schmaltzy as that sounds, it matters, so here's the list: plants, photography, writing, my family, landscape history, being outside, traveling, the ocean, taking baths, excellent things (like Bach, Lance Armstrong on a bike, Michelangelo's Peita), words, coffee, well that's good for now.
