Harmony-Adventure-Comparisons-Change-Purity-Control-patience




Through good times and bad times what is left is stories and imagery.................... here are a few images from my hike the other day!





To sum up my feeling of today! I will end with one quote By Hunter S. Thompson:

"Who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?"

For 2011 I will continue to grow, to experience: I will keep sharing and I will keep reflecting on the above quote...

X mass in and around the Finger lakes

A few sick days, a few flurries, a little drive lead to a walk about one of the finger lakes.
The winters chill chased me around the lake, but night fell I was back at my finances home shedding my damp clothes and pulling four covers over my body.

Wishing all that be Merry! safe and hopefully you have a designated driver......:)

Cheers!















More images from the past, the present and of course the future!

When we align with Nature, Magic Happens" John Friend~ Goodbye 2010 Hello 2011

As 2010 comes to end as my eyes close and I breath in all that I have experienced. I dream of the open road, the snow capped mountains, the sweet taste of salty air from the ocean shores, hiking up a trail under the clouds but most all I long to continue to explore the destinations & people of the world....



From the Mountains of New Mexico, to the flats of Texas, to the beaches in Miami to the farms of upstate New York it has been a magical ride through out the country this year.

Life has filled my glass and I have slowly enjoyed each sip as though it was is my last. The good thing is that my glass remains full & my palate is quenched.



I have posted many kudos about the people of that I have encountered from across the states in the past. I have been touched and I have just recently learned what it means to live a charmed life...............................




No matter what life throws at you the one thing I know and understand is that you have to be like bamboo!
You have to absorb it and be very strong, your roots have to be firmly planted and you have to suck it up..


Because it will change it will get better, it is just a chapter of now, not then, not the future, it is just NOW.............It will change....





Like you I look forward to what 2011 holds....




I follow you and you follow me...........

Holidays cheers, the cold the snow and the fauna

The year is coming to an end quickly! New families members have entered the picture and the days of 2010 have almost come to an end, like "time" ticking forward I am clearing computers for a fresh start in 2011. Up north the friget cold and snow days combined with the white out skies...... Oh what fun it is to be upstate......

These types of days I have not seen in many years living and working out of Miami.




As the new years closes I am reminded of my childhood ways of playing in the cold running wild or biking in the snow. I am reminded of what once was.



I am thankful for all that I have. Nothing has rang in my ears louder then the clinging of glass's while sharing drinks and a meal with my closest family members.




What matters is Family! What matter is cherishing the time that we have...


I wish you all the Happiest of days and nights leading up to 2011.

From the powers that be..... to those that will listen....

I returned to NY and followed my path and saw the most brillant shooting star that passed right under the full moon. The tail of the star stretched 3 miles long with its tail glowing white, blue and yellow. For 6 seconds I starred at it, I followed it with my eyes. I wished upon that shooting star 10,000 times. I was following my path and it lead to Erin's front door at 4am................ My future has begun again with so many major changes from where I was to where I am going with my future wife......................

Our location is unknown but our path is before us............... It all starts in Cananadaigua!
