Poetic minds tune right into the rhythms of road trips! This one makes me eager to get back “out there” – physically and poetically. Fantastic that your poems are traveling via so many journals!

Alas, lately my road trips have been mostly limited to quick jaunts to grocery or hardware stores. But someday!

OK, will take you along in my mind – Stephanie too – we are headed for the dark skies of South Llano River State Park for a few nights, to be there for the Solstice viewing of Jupiter & Saturn doing their very rare conjunction. (A cool hardware store nearby … for daytime “viewing”)

I have my fingers crossed for clear skies! I’d love to stop in at Cooper’s, to pick up a ton of barbecue. Mmmmmmmm!

An outstanding piece of love, nature, and life, connected by a tasty little seed grain…

I said this there too, but I am going to be thinking about dreaming about corn that is not just corn all day. There is a lilting subversion in this piece that I love.

Thanks, Chris. Sometimes a cornfield is just a cornfield, but sometimes it’s much more. That drive across the country was something to remember!
