Leelanau Solitary Woman

 




It was as if the lake knew,

Somberly,

That she was alone, ...

Again.

On the road, ...

Again.

Not knowing where to go, ...

Again.

And yet, ...

A faint light in the distance

Seemed to whisper:

"Have hope," ...

Again.

In Leelanau ... On Semi-Solid Ground

Pyramid Point Summit Here in Leelanau, ... We walk, and climb, and sit on our dunes. A lot. In so doing, We take for granted the obvious - That there is something at least semi-solid beneath us: A mountain of sand -  Terra Almost Firma. For the most part, it is immoveable, dependable, Supportive of the weight of our bodies ... And our lives. Even during the most difficult times. Times when, on the other side of the world, The earth is not so dependable - Giving way, And swallowing our sisters and brothers. Here in Leelanau, ... We walk, and climb, and sit on our dunes. And for that we are thankful.                      Visit A Leelanau Landmark:  Pyramid Point Trail - Revel in the                     stunning 180-degree view of the Sleeping Bear Dunes                      National Lakeshore from the summit.  Embrace this moderately                     difficult climb.  You will not be disappointed.  CLICK  'SUBSCRIBE'  AND  ENJOY  A  BIT  OF  LEELANAU  UP  NORTH  BIWEEKLY!

In Leelanau, ... Looking Back

Image
Empire  Beach  Sunset To behold a Leelanau sunset, Is to glimpse a bit of heaven from earth. But not in real time. For to look at a Leelanau sunset, Is to look back in time - About 8.3 minutes ago to be precise. Which is the time it takes for our sunlight To make its 93 million mile journey To the Land of Delight. So, the sun actually sets eight plus minutes before the sunset image we view from our little planet. Indeed, everything we see in this universe is time delayed, By milliseconds to millions of years, Depending upon its distance from our eyes. In other words, ... In Leelanau and beyond, Now is an illusion.

A Leelanau Christmas

Image
  View From Empire Beach When I was a younger man,  He never told me ... There would be longings without fulfillment. There would be heartaches without healing. There would be questions without answers. But now, as an older man, I remember what He did say ... There would be love without conditions. Nothing else really matters.
