I come from a large, close Italian family on one side and a large, scattered bunch of everythings on the other.  Moving to Asheville years ago put me just far enough away.  Now, it seems time is passing and family members are getting older.  I’m taking the next couple of weeks to be with my family through one passing and support my other family through health struggles.  I now find myself thinking about how I will pull closer to my family for these times marking times passage.

We’ll be together on a house at the lake in the photo above, great place to offer reverence and reflect on life and time.  Pardon my lack of posts over the next couple of weeks.  I’m taking a time out.
