It’s mid-July, and here in New England, we’re still talking about this past winter. The seemingly unending piles of snow will long live in the memory, and for me, so will the unexpected creativity born out of solitude watching things grow even in the dead of winter. I’m honored to have a series of images from that period featured in the latest Alimentum The Literature of Food. Enjoy!

What do forks have to do with a long walk? Well, just click the picture or on this link to find out. Find a tale inspired by my interactions with a five-year old who has grown adept at asking “can you make up a story about [fill in the blank],” and my interactions with a 50-plus year old who has the spirit of a five-year old who tells me quite often what he will do with a fork in the road.
With such muses in my life, how could I not write this tale? Please enjoy and let me know what you think.

Okay, yes, that’s me in my mother’s arms a few days out of the hospital. I won’t tell you how long ago. But I will share this essay, just published in Talking Writing Magazine. People sometimes ask why do I write about a leaf blowing in the wind or photograph a sliver of light. This essay helps to explain the why of it all. Enjoy.

Do butterflies live in houses? They do in the mind of a young friend of mine. And that’s the focus of an article I wrote posted today on Creativity Portal.com, about the unexpected places one finds inspiration.
