It was just a matter of time before the subject of riding a motorcycle to Alaska came up for consideration. For those of us who do motorcycle touring, it's the equivalent of climbing Mt. Rainier due to the distances involved, the poor road conditions on the Alaska Highway, the remoteness, the weather, the mosquitoes, etc. …

A Brutish Lout
Inga and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with friends this year here in Seattle. Before eating, we conversationally covered a lot of ground, from encounters with wildlife, to a study that measured the attunement of plants to human emotions, to vegetarianism. The mention of deer and plants caused me to remember a healing I …
What A Year It Has Been
Well, what a year it has been, eh? It certainly has been rich with challenges and blessings for me. I've been through so much this year that I had to sit down and chart it out to reflect properly on it all. Here's a summary of what I came up with: Challenges Blessings Coping with …
Money In The Fridge
The strange happenings continue at our house. I opened the refrigerator to check the beer supply after our last open house only to find it fairly decimated and much to my surprise, a defaced ten dollar bill. Grateful guest? Mischievous elemental? Lord knows around here. Stuff has been disappearing and reappearing quite a bit lately. …
Building Sand Castles On The Beach
I've been recently discussing transits with a close friend as she's been enduring some trying times. She is a very optimistic person and I watch her enthusiastically scanning the transit report for any signs of support for what she wants to have happen in her life at this time. When she finds validation, and she …
Freya, The Norse Goddess of Love
We have a new family member, a four legged and furry one. It always happens shortly after the loss of a family member to old age or sickness, despite our fervent protestations that it will not. We start talking about how it will be nice to have a smaller family; a less stress and work …
Mary Baker Duncan
Mary Baker Duncan was born on an April afternoon in 1986 on the patio outside our trailer in Tucson, one kitten in a litter of 5. When we moved into this trailer park, we began feeding the many strays and we became especially close with a female cat that we named Branwen, also known as …
Happy New Year!
Capricorn 2002 completes our third year of publishing this newsletter. As I look back at all those newsletters, I'm struck by all the personal growth that I've experienced in that time. At the same time, I feel a daily frustration and lack of patience with the rate of progress in my growth and that of …
What I Did On My Summer Vacation
I knew I was overdue for a vacation, especially with the extreme chaos of the past 12 months at work. And yet, it really didn't sink in how out of shape my body/spirit/mind alignment was until I got in the saddle and took off on an 8-day motorcycle tour of Glacier National Park in Montana …
I’m An Earthling
I've been thinking about what benefit I gain from interacting with Elementals. As an adult, if this interaction doesn't result in some sort of transformation, then it's nothing more than just a creative exercise for my imagination and intuition. That certainly is beneficial for me but that Virgo sun sign of mine demands that I …
