A whole lot of sand
has poured through the hourglass of my life
since last I posted here
I’ve lost people, places and things
over the past many years
and now find myself alone
Near the western shores
of the Great Lake Michigan
“home of the good spirit”
In the days before settlement,
our area was named Manitowoc
by the Native Americans
who called this area their home.
Manitowoc, meaning home of the good spirit,
was regarded as a magical place
for the mixed bands of Ottowa,
Potawatomi, Menominee and Ojibwa people.
And from here, and now,
I hope to renew my self
as well as this imagist/blog
