My dad was rushed to the hospital yesterday. He fell, and his neck hit a chair, which crushed his larynx. At first he thought he was okay, but once swelling and bleeding started obstructing his airway, he realized he needed to go to the hos...

Street art... 104 & Amsterdam

nobody@vox.com(on.pilgrimage) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:02:29 -0800

I didn't find God in any particular way on the corner of Amistad... didn't even find Amistad if there is one in NYC. But I did find some great street art near the corner of 104th and Amsterdam: a broken t/v tray and an a single shoe. ...

I took this photo in the Whole Foods in New Orleans, LA, while home in Mississippi - I thought it would make a pleasant fall, Halloween contribution to my Facebook page. The diversity of the pumpkins is amazing to me - all sizes and shapes and c...

Fishers of people

A couple of weeks ago, I broke down and purchased a lovely polynesian-style fish hook, hand made by a local Hawaiian artist. It's wonderful swirls match my tattoo, and the koa wood that is mixed with cow bone to make a stunning, creative design i...

Teloschistes flavicans

Looking closely at the lovely orange-yellow growing on branches, I noticed this lichen webbing among the outstretched arms of the trees. I had only noticed this on the very top of Koko Crater, and then again last Friday when I reached rain-forrest...

The canoe and the church.

nobody@vox.com(on.pilgrimage) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:11:44 -0700

Sounds like the title of a child's book? The Canoe and the Church? Some of the photos on my Facebook page have been of canoes and me canoeing. These pictures were posted to show my pleasure in participating in a canoe team - in spite of the ...

Night blooming cereus ~ Midnight resurrection

nobody@vox.com(on.pilgrimage) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 02:46:14 -0700

I've added a new photo as a my profile picture, a no-flash late night photo of a night blooming cereus - that wonderfully fabulous succulent-cactus that blooms only at night, on a cycle that someone told me is lunar-based. It's flower, fit for c...

Learn to listen all over again.

Saturday, my friend BR took this photo of me just after we had finished the novice B race in the McFarlane - an annual 4th of July race down at Waikiki, a time of year when the surf is up, which makes operating a canoe a little more interesting. ...

Reflecting on rigging - the tie that binds

nobody@vox.com(on.pilgrimage) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 06:27:17 -0700

I was recently at a canoe blessing, and felt a calm and beauty there - it was a wonderful day because I began and ended my social outings by standing in a circle of blessing. In the AM, at a canoe blessing, and in the PM, at the end of our Confir...

hello, it's been awhile....

nobody@vox.com(on.pilgrimage) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:33:28 -0700

It's been some time since I forced myself to blog, so I figure now it is about time. I've had the idea of writing a brief explanation of photos I take and place on my facebook page as my "profile picture." I'll start with the current, and update...
