December destinations

"December Destinatioon," 5 by 7 watercolor card

Gates always beckon, metaphors for traveling, for life, for the closing of a year, the beginning of another.
Heading home, or far away, in miles, or years, or living, or memories--December destinations.

Day five of December watercolors.

Journeys resume

Journeys, 5 by 7 watercolor

Every day, every year, is a journey. This card was by request two years ago for two very special friends in Santa Fe.
After pausing for Christmas, we head out again, down paths we know not what nor where.
It's taken me too long to realize that life is about  journey, not the destination.
To me,  "journey" is a verb--that way destination does not loom so large.
I don't want to "arrive," but to live each step.
