Asymp; 2 Comments. I am not a good runner, but running has been good to me. I suspect that it is not the healthiest habit. Several weeks into training and the aches become more pronounced. I’ll take off a bloody pair of socks, patch another blister, and curse my shins. My body responds so poorly that I limit myself to a few months of running a year; my shoes will grow dusty in the back of the closet once this race is over. Asymp; 2 Comments. My favourite story is the one I force my parents to tell me, ag...

Asymp; 2 Comments. I am reminded that the sun will set soon, in shades of warm amber to ease us into the quiet of day’s end. The bay is rocked by a soft current, sending gentle waves dancing to the edge of the horizon. Standing close to the water I take stock of the soil and rock at my feet and I want to sink in as deep as the ground allows. Grant Atkinson Photography and Safaris. Blog at WordPress.com.

Asymp; 1 Comment. Home, I thought, is in a hot kitchen made dusty with flour. Here, where cookies cool by the window and chocolate babkas wait to be drenched in sticky sweet gloss. Home, I thought, is by the bookshelves filled with volumes collected since childhood. Here, where I scan the titles for the next escape. Here, where I stop speaking long enough to look for words worth sharing. Home, I thought, is in the dining room where friends gather to celebrate. Here, where I stumble over phrases I bar...

Botswana | The Lilac Elephant

Asymp; 5 Comments. There are indulgences that satisfy in small pieces. A single square of rich dark chocolate. Its bitterness perfectly cut with barely detectable sweetness. A sprinkle of sea salt and the hint of citrus meld with the deepest cocoa to envelop the senses. A single tot of good tequila. A steady pour and the soft clink of ice meeting spirits. The first sip goes down hot, then smooth. The second tickles my throat, and the third is delectable contentment. I fear the unrequited wanting. A handf...

Travel | The Lilac Elephant

The Skeleton Coast, Namibia. Night was coming quickly, and there was little light left when we reached the grave of Mathias Koraseb, a man who died in 1942 attempting to rescue passengers on the shipwrecked Dunedin Star. Here was another reminder that we were privileged to be reveling in the splendor of this coast instead of battling its elements for survival. Thought on “Travel”. October 6, 2013 at 7:08 am.
