Poetic Interlude
Much as I am enjoying the chance to relive the days of our fabulous visit with the Morales family in Guatemala, the realities of my present day responsibilities are squeezing me right out of chances to write more at this time, so I am going to compose a few non-sentence poetic word lines that come to mind to compliment this abstract closeup image of a palm tree. It is a quicker exercise for me, because I can just make it up as I go along, don’t you know.
flying
from snow
to see friends
in Guatemala
excited
anticipation
is met
with smiles
and miles
and miles
of unbelievable things
more appropriately measured
in kilometers
but no matter
it’s all the same
with fun stacked upon fun
and every day more
beauty and wonder
intrinsically magical things
friends become family
making it hard when it comes
that point of departure
when hearts tend to break
the time for goodbyes
when we have to fly
back home

We are missing you so much, Marco, Dunia, Marco, & Jose!

Their variety of dogs. The pack was never stationary long enough to get them all at once.

And more from the stable, Dunia riding, and their horses. I loved the look of the two-story housing.

Coming Soon
I was hoping to be able to start composing my tales of our adventures soon after we got home, but I am entirely swamped with the responsibility of crunching data for our tax accountant. I was supposed to deliver our numbers on Monday! The days I had intended to prepare our tax information got redirected when I agreed to return to the old day-job for the three weeks that led up to our trip. Any free moment I wasn’t at the day-job, I was scrapping to prepare things for our house/animal-sitters, and get myself packed and ready to go. That was followed by the 12-days of travel and now the pressure’s on.
I will buy some time by distracting you today with some images I captured on the day after we arrived. Here are some views of things that are definitely not found at Wintervale. A little enticement of what lies ahead…

Winding – revisited
If everything happened according to the plan, we should have arrived home yesterday afternoon. This will be the last in my series of revisited ‘Words on Images’ creations filling in during my adventures in Guatemala. I am taking one last day to absorb all that we have experienced in the past week and a half, before endeavoring to compose the tales of our adventure for you to see here in the days ahead. Thanks for following along!
Today, “Winding,” first published in June of 2013.
