[RANGE OF DARKNESS] Two posts ago, I told you all of these featured photographs are from Alaska, except for the one featured in Range of Brightness (https://inthenovember.com/2023/11/21/range-of-brightness/). I had always wanted to go to Alaska and finally made it there in 2015. It is an incredibly beautiful place, both naturally and in the hardships that […]
Read more "Aperture"Here we are. It was 24 degrees at sunrise this morning, and the sun is still shining. That is quite the contrast to my anniversary here two years ago, when it was gray and raining. I wish I could say I had listened to my own advice, and that I was on a trajectory that […]
Read more "RANGE OF BRIGHTNESS"I have found that while life is a series of decisions, it will move forward regardless of whether I make a choice or not. So I can stall and deflect, procrastinate and draw out these decisions, which I often do, or just make a choice. It is not fear of regret that stops me, but […]
Read more "The Control"I thought of writing today and opened this site to find that it was my anniversary…I started here six years ago, today. In the November, my favorite time of year and my favorite place. My home, my saving grace. To me it is just where I belong. It is gray and raining here today, as […]
Read more "If I Should Fall"Listen to piano music, and let it take you somewhere. I wanted to write tonight, but I don’t have much to say. I’ve been thinking a lot about time, because we have so little of it. It just gets away from me, and I hate that. I have things I want to do and things […]
Read more "Key Strokes"This morning, as we stood in the midnight air, we noticed a ring around the moon. “A moon ring,” my companion said. I was informed it happens when crystals in the sky catch light reflected from the moon. Light that has already been reflected from the sun. Recycled light, in a way. I don’t think […]
Read more "22° Halo"I once said “I’m certain of two things in this life: It exists, and we never know what is going to happen tomorrow.” I have found this to be true many times, in fact more times than I would like. Sometimes, I’d like to know what tomorrow holds, I’d like to know what to expect […]
Read more "Tomorrow"I had a small, planned procedure and knew I would be forced to sit around for a few days. I had grand plans of watching a few movies I’ve been wanting to see and writing as much as I could of that book I mentioned previously. It’s strange though as I haven’t done any of […]
Read more "Pipe Dream"It is as if everything is ending at once, but this happens every November. It is the season changing more than anything, because if anything ends this time of year, the cold weather, snow and lack of light arrive to remind you that there is no such thing as an endless summer here. Along side […]
Read more "Once More"I wasn’t supposed to live this long. I shouldn’t have lived much past eighteen. I don’t know if I would have even made it that far; the doctors never said anything about that. And I was certain, even after I had been cleared, that something would come along and that would be the end. Eighteen […]
