Wintery Prague

Prague is beautiful but cold, and I walk on gloomy streets haunted by ghosts of my bad decisions.

then the voice in my head said

WHETHER YOU LOVE WHAT YOU LOVE

OR LIVE IN DIVIDED CEASELESS

REVOLT AGAINST IT

WHAT YOU LOVE IS YOUR FATE

— from "Guilty of Dust" by Frank Bidart

Halloween with Jacques

My dear friend Jacques and my doggie Henry, just before many bottles of champagne at French Tuesdays Halloween Party. Henry really hated Jacques' "costume."

Hauntings...

At a photo workshop in Rockport, Maine. I was scared of the crickety old house where I was staying, and via text message J promised me that he'd protect me from the ghosts.

And so I shut my eyes...

As you go the way of life, you will see a great chasm.
Jump.
It is not as wide as you think.

-Native American Indian saying

Sometimes the answer is no...

Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles, and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving until the right action arises by itself?

- Lao-tzu

U2 in Sao Paulo, Brazil

And then, some days, I truly love my job.

Two weeks in Thailand

Two weeks in Thailand with Caro, my best friend in the world. We shopped for silk in the Bangkok markets, took cooking classes in Chaing Mai and had (multiple) massages every day on the beaches of Ko Phangan.

Guatemala

Antigua, Chichi (to see the amazing market) and Tikal. Right place, wrong person.
