A Letter to Lulu

An Eighty Year Odyssey of

Life's Experiences, Adventures and Unfolding.

From the aerated cushion on the

self propelled wheelchair that was provided

following more than 7 months in hospital,

initially after awaking from surgery

to having no feeling from the waist down

it seemed timely to express as a conversation

to a distant relative in letter form.

It was the moment to reflect upon

the experiences of my extraordinary unfolding life.

As a post war babe from a humble suburban home

to exploring the sparkling icicle regions of northern parts

of Norway to beyond the southern most parts

of Tierra del Feugo of the Antarctic region.

This letter sharing with my fellow traveller

here on earth school some of my early growing pains,

marriage, moving to a rural area, raising family and later

adventures as we explored many countries of the world

are intermingled with an unfolding of an insatiable quest

for what felt to be Truth and the Love that is God.
