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.

Thoughts To Myself In Leelanau

Image
Standing here ... In the silver glow, On the edge of night And my seventh decade, Thoughts randomly turn to ... The end. Not so much the end of my life. Rather, the end of the story. The story of family and friends, Of laughter and tears, Of hopes and dreams, Of Leelanau sunsets. I fear not the end of my life. I fear the end of the story.                                                                             ..........                    Hi:  When I'm not writing about Leelanau, I host The Conflict Counselor podcast.  Check it out at  https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/Jd5usGy4ASb .  Thanks!

Dining at The Cove, you'll have a ringside seat by a mini Niagara Falls, as the turquoise water cascades over the Leland dam on its short trip to Lake Michigan.  A truly picturesque  setting for a great meal. And if you spend any time in Leland's historic Fishtown District, you're bound to see Rick's famous car / boat - motoring around with four wheels, ... if by land, and two propellers, ... if by sea. Rick's Amphicar is one of only 3,878 produced in German...

A little stream runs fast and clear through Empire Village. Flowing from a spring-fed pond, ... It turns a waterwheel and tumbles over ancient rocks,  On its way to South Bar Lake. And from there to Lake Michigan. Sometimes I stare at the rushing water,  As if in a trance, Captivated by the sight and sound of it. Sometimes I dream of the stream .... And in my dreams, Drink from the cool, swirling pools along its bank. And sometimes, ... I just envy the little stream. For it knows exactly what to do, And where to go ... In life. See You In Leelanau Up North, Chris                     Visit A Leelanau Landmark:  The little stream in Empire Village                     - forever flowing  next to the Empire House Bed & Breakfast on                      Lacore  Street.  Look for the waterwheel amidst the ce...
