Hope is the Thing With Feathers: December 2012
http://hopeandfeatherdays.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Trail Reports and Stories About the Journey. Saturday, December 22, 2012. Where Do We Go From Here? We say we can't imagine and we simply can't. Neither can they. I am sorely disappointed in myself as much as I am this country as a collective whole. Why did it take the mass murder of kindergarteners (and let's not forget the brave staff and teachers) to. Wake our country up to this epidemic? And did it even wake us up and. I believe that if you put one hundred people in a room, you would get one hundred ...

Hope is the Thing With Feathers: Parental Rejuvenation
http://hopeandfeatherdays.blogspot.com/2015/08/parental-rejuvenation.html
Trail Reports and Stories About the Journey. Saturday, August 15, 2015. Rejuvenation: To give new strength or energy to something. Thanks to awesome grandparents who were eager to spend a few days having some farm fun with their grands, Larry and I had that chance and we took it! Taking one for the team is what those kind of friends do, and he was happy to oblige my request for some wilderness therapy. I was excited to complete my last leg of the Bartram Trail! That night we camped in a beautiful hollow ...

Hope is the Thing With Feathers: May 2015
http://hopeandfeatherdays.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Trail Reports and Stories About the Journey. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Walk or travel through or around a place or area, especially for pleasure and in a leisurely way. When I moved to Waynesville in the spring of 1997, I was awestruck. The animal hospital where I took my first job had a window in the operating room, and it became a brief meditative ritual for me to watch the green leaves make their slow climb up the mountainside each day while I waited for the staff to prep my patients for surgery. Time ...

Hope is the Thing With Feathers: July 2014
http://hopeandfeatherdays.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Trail Reports and Stories About the Journey. Sunday, July 27, 2014. Finding Me Again on the Foothills Trail. Backpacking in Grand Canyon National Park, 2001. Harder to pull off as the years ticked by. Real life has a way of blocking the path sometimes. Ate mountains of anything we offered them, and resupplied their food. Celine, Brienne and Laurent (the kids) seemed wise beyond their years when we met them, so I can only imagine what they'll be like at the end of their journey (and yes, they're still...

Hope is the Thing With Feathers: February 2014
http://hopeandfeatherdays.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Trail Reports and Stories About the Journey. Sunday, February 2, 2014. Four years ago today, Mama crossed over. The grief I usually experience on this anniversary is overshadowed today. I am instead overcome with gratitude for the years I spent with her. The fact that I have any memories at all is enough. But they do and they did. Those with faith would say that we don't know God's plan and for reasons we don't understand it was her time. I envy that faith. Despite having a keen awareness that li...The t...

Hope is the Thing With Feathers: July 2015
http://hopeandfeatherdays.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Trail Reports and Stories About the Journey. Saturday, July 11, 2015. A person who makes, does, or discovers something new and makes it acceptable or popular. Grand Canyon National Park (with more photos at the bottom of the post). What if I conceded to the tenets of the status quo and didn't trust myself to help create what I believe is a much needed educational alternative? The answer is crystal clear in my mind when I remember the ideology that brought me to this place nearly three years ago: There ca...

Rambling Hemlock: Bartram Trail
http://ramblinghemlock.blogspot.com/p/bartram-trail.html
My hiking strategy of out-and-backs is totally inefficient but feel I get to see more and enjoy more time on the trail. Because I didn't do the sections in order, I can choose waterfalls and streams on hot days or during lots of rain, and views and ridgewalks on clear days. I hope this page inspires you to get out and explore this exceptionally scenic trail. Tall gaiters were essential in summer because the Bartram is overgrown in places.
