Walking downtown streets of Asheville I could hear drums in the white wind Despite being deserted I feel a thrill Of creative energy hoping to thrive again The shops full of unique crafts and goods With store workers seemingly bored Gentrified was the emerald neighborhood But evidence of roots still in stores Helene had come through full steam Wiping away many...

I took my bike on Amtrak, got off at Charlottesville. Climbed up to the Blue Ridge parkway, the first of many a hill. I met a Canadian Carpenter as I got closer to N.C. He was cycling alone; his wife would meet him in Miami. We shared some jokes and when food ran low resupplied at the green valley of...

I love the birds that make their home in Florida… The woodpeckers, doves and cardinals who live just beyond our front door… The pelicans, herons and spoonbills we see on our walks along the shore.
