On Pilgrimage
January 3, 2020

     Or maybe this is a travel log.  I am on a journey, after all – a journey to discover my best self and bring forth her gifts.

   Perhaps this journey could take place anywhere.  And perhaps it will, from time to time, be augmented or engergized by travel to places far from home.  But for the most part, this is an inward journey.  Or perhaps more accurately, it is a journey unfolding in and from a particular place: our farm on the edge of Miami, Oklahoma, located in Ottawa County, the very northeast corner of this state.  The eastern edge of our farm literally abuts the city limit line.

     So, like Annie Dillard, I have anchored myself to a ceaseless flow of life, mystery, discovery – this town, these neighbors, my law practice.  All just down the hill and across the river. This is my Tinker Creek.  This is my Walden Pond.
