While these cruises are designed to offer you maximum Awe, they are not here to help you absorb the sacredness of these moments. Because they are trying to stuff the next moment into you. I’m realizing how slowly I absorb Beauty, Awe, Peace… Because they are Divine Gifts. Appreciation and Gratitude are cherished by the Creator… […]

Journeys take time to settle into comfort. We got on the boat yesterday, but there have already been meals with different wonderful people. We’ve sat next to others on briefings. Little worlds like ships don’t diminish our need for community, so we make it quickly, and, perhaps, dare a little more deeply. We may only […]

What no one says is that the demands Beauty and Peace make upon your soul are not always comfortable or comforting. But they’re nonetheless Amazing. Thank you for keeping me company on this journey. Awesmacked… Welcome to the Darkest of the Dark of the Moon! The skies should be clear in the San Juans! There […]

Giving thanks for the Life and Love I am in the midst of. Living into the Peace and the Friendship. Wishing that guy in Eau Clair Deep Peace. Welcome to the Dark of the Moon! The skies should be clear in the San Juans! There will be stars reflecting in the waters. Ann I’m posting […]

Here in this place of Deep Peace which makes me feel lucky to be alive, I’ve been remembering all the sweetness in my Life. There is space to Remember. To Mourn. To Celebrate. To Pause. Because Life is Beautiful. Inspiring. Unnerving. Did I say Life? I think I meant Peace… and also Love. Ann I’m […]

Emily Dickenson wrote “Because I could not stop for Death, Death kindly stopped for me…” and afterwards whisked her off to the afterlife.  Peace stops for us every day, why are we so slow to stop for Peace? 5:34 is as early as the sun will rise all year. It will rise for five days at […]

It takes the mind a bit to catch up to the beauty that the heart has already welcomed. So the cool Pacific sunshine glinting off the waves and the Rainforest between us is giving me the opportunity to inhale Beauty, exhale Peace. Inhale Peace, exhale Beauty. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Ann I’m posting here the times […]

The road is compelling. It demands your getting on with things. During these next three days we’ll record where we’ve been, what the travel is like and make forays into unknown landscapes and cultures. Through it all, we offer deep gratitude for this journey. (and i forgot to change the date for today’s post… but […]

We doubled our elevation from the Teddy Roosevelt National Park (24,000 feet) to Bozeman at 48,000+ feet. And the road just kept unrolling like a ribbon in front of us. Marilyn and I found ourselves with big smiles on our faces. The Beauty astounds, comforts and invites. The Gratitude is really fairly overwhelming… It is […]

Marilyn and I are having such fun. And seeing such amazing and ridiculous things. Who could ask for anything more? The Journey continues… (who could ask for anything more?) Ann I’m posting the times for the risings and settings of the Sun and Moon here for where I live (Sunbury PA, USA). This is a […]
