Life is seldom simple so we must make sense of the twist and turns
From the monthly archives:
I’m not doing New Year Resolutions any longer. Oh, I have things I’d like to accomplish this coming year, but my priorities and goals will no doubt change as 2009 progresses. I believe 2009 will be a very interesting period (perhaps in the Chinese curse way.)
This makes three years of posting to Meandering Passage and [...]

I travelled to the near-by dam/river area (Bull Hole) this morning only to find that the water level had dropped significantly.

As I took this photo I was thinking, here’s someone enjoying the moment. Many of us don’t take advantage of those moments when we have them.
My mind goes back to a recently read book where one of the characters used the line, “Do the day and let the day do you.”
