#OTR50 Day 113: Clan Trilla’am
Ta’ra unfurled the map and looked at the drawings, then up at the cairn that lay not more than 100 meters in front of them. It was tall, perhaps as high as 5 meters. The lower half of it disguised by moss, the top covered in vines. If they hadn’t been searching for this exact landmark for almost two days, it could easily have been missed. Yet. . . […]

I watched a movie on one of my several flights these last two week. I was enjoying the somewhat uplifting love story. Then the vibrations of the large engines and significant exhaustion took over lulling me to sleep. I awoke to landing and didn’t get to finish the film. The portion of the story I […]

They were usually outrageously silly or crazy short. Only occasionally would they become elaborate. Regardless it was a fun game for all . . . even when the words were ridiculous. Three words because I have three kids. However, even when we had more or less in the car with us, the game was three […]

Some days, when I begin to fill the page, I do not know where the words will take me. I allow them to simply flow out of me like rain from the sky blotting up the white space. Other days, I begin with a vision, a story, or a goal in mind. Still other days, […]

Tonight, I have a true story to tell. I am also not sure if I have the words to express all the things I wish to have others understand. This particular moment in my life is tough to grasp out of memory even though I think of it every time I drive through Delaware. 22 […]
