"The 60 is a miserable little stretch of Highway...
My memories fell once again on the cobblestone roads and how I, as the bell tolled off of the ancient church and surrounding cafes, promised myself I would return once again to this place. And what a promise I had made, that the dust of my years in waiting would not rust my engines or alter my undeniable desire to travel. And as I rode down the hot freeway, the superstition mountains revealed...

"Are You Free Yet?" - Homeless man outside Sacks...
While walking past my local sandwich shop on my way to campus a homeless man calmly looked up at me and asked, “Are you free yet?”. I didn’t know what to say. All that came out of me was, “Thank you”. He smiled, and I walked away.

When You Are Old: William Butler Yeats →
When You Are Old William Butler Yeats
When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face;...

"The frost gripped to everything, and as the house...

I looked out the cracked window, and up the top field, littered with dry, lifeless cotton plants, which...

Good Music: SK Sessions: Sarah Blasko, Band of...
Alrighty, so here’s some really great music I came across this week. SK sessions does it right, if you ever have time, look them up on You Tube. You may remember the post I had of James Vincent McMarrow’s video This Old Dark Machine. This song led me on to these awesome sessions that any true folk/indie/jazz/americana fan should check out. Enjoy the songs and keep the faith....
