To Walk, To Write

"The length of his walk uniformly made the length of his writing. If shut up in the house, he did not write at all."

:: Ralph Waldo Emerson :: 

{ in reference to Thoreau }

Camino de Santiago : July 2013

I have always felt an inescapable link between walking & writing. 

The space brings life to my soul 

and the steady rhythm provides inspiration 

as endless stories unfold in my mind.

I crave the open space and margins of time to write.

I live on the cusp of this season for which I long;

the time of sweet summer

to do exactly what I love.

This year, in the beauty of the Oregon landscape.
