    Thank you River. Almost a mirror image of Callum’s celebration pose!

      Although Callum dreamed I was his football coach, I think it’s pretty clear he is mine!

Find My Way

March 13/April 2. The sun has come out, plum trees are starting to bloom in Eastsound, I leave for Scotland in exactly 3 weeks, and I am feeling glum.  Four weeks ago, while slightly increasing my walking so I would be ready for a couple of 22 mile days during my three week walk in Scotland (West Highland Way, Great Glen Way, and Speyside Way), I started to notice discomfort in my left upper foot. I tried to do imagined massage and energy work as I walked, which often clears up small aches and pains almost miraculously. This particular pain came and went, but over the next week it gradually worsened. I noticed it was throwing off my gait and that it was no longer a good idea to rely on my own healing efforts or to ignore it.  I called out the healers - made appointments with Rick Doty for body work, the Bradbury's for chiropractic care and acupuncture, Dr. Cindy Bullock for podiatry, and I drove to Everett to Althea's footwear (a podiatrist-recommended specialty shoe store for...

Speyside Way - Day 1 - part 1

Image
April 22, Friday. Walked from Aviemore to Newtonmore. 20 miles by the estimate. Closer to 22 on my iPhone.  Okay this is truly Wierd. Hoping for an early start but not wanting to set an alarm in my shared hostel dorm, I decided to wake naturally. And I did. My watch said 6am. Later than I had hoped. As quietly as I could I packed, brushed my teeth, get my socks on, rolled my luggage to the transfer area, found a banana for breakfast in the kitchen, was about to leave, glanced at my watch and it said 12:30. So….what to do now? Decided to write a very short blog then go back to bed in my clothes! Too tired to blog last night. Got up early and walked to bus station in Innisfree and bussed to Aviemore. Then walked to hostel to drop off my luggage. A little drama for me here - I had been told Reception opened at 7 but the inner door was locked. I banged and banged. No answer. I walked all around the hostel and found no sign of people. There was a sign that said the hostel was closed - i...

Speyside Way - Day 1 - part 2

Continued from Speyside Way - Day 1 - part 1.  Okay friends. I need to go back to bed (after someone mistaking the middle of the night for morning when I looked at my watch). So let’s pick one or two photos that show how much I enjoyed the walk and let it go at that. I hope you enjoyed going through all those gates with me. Who knows what mysteries of regulation and navigation we were exploring symbolically as we moved through them? I have not in my fascination with gates been unfaithful to bridges. An early part of the walk was beside the train track and I enjoyed the train bridges. This one in particular intrigued me. Look at that slanted stone work!  And you aren’t going to get away without a few lively trees dancing their slow motion dance.  Nor will you be spared yet another attempt to capture the sway and curve of the earth - that slow geological dance whose movement we don’t see but sense in the shape of things…I had hoped that the road curve and fence curve w...
