OK, I am breaking a rule; I am posting on the Beagle blog
but not actually traveling in the Beagle.
Yet. She is parked out front, I
can see her through my den window, all hitched up and ready to go first thing
in the morning.
Almost two years ago I set off in Beagle to discover my new
life, study the difference between free will and fate, and other lofty goals. But after three tiring months on the road, the
2018 Tour quickly turned into a hunt for a winter home. I knew I had found it the moment I drove into
Morro Bay. That remains true to this
day; even more so as I have discovered friends and talents I never knew I
possessed. All of which I will dearly
miss on this trip.
But I have a simpler goal this time: To go wherever I want for whatever reason and
to travel and arrive with no expectations.
“Without expectations, everyone is perfect.” Sorry, cannot remember the author of that
quote, but I am going to expand it to, “Without expectations everything
is perfect.”
Before I start out, I want to record this feeling of joy in
the unknown. I love this moment in life
when you know something is about to happen (truly know it, not just feel it, I know
I will drive away tomorrow) and you have no idea what is going to happen; it is
one of the greatest feelings on earth, at least to me.
And I truly have no expectations.
Somebody check the time.

PS: I was thinking
today while packing up that I will make an effort to have fresh flowers in Beagle. After dining at my dear friend’s restaurant, he
gave me a rose as a parting gift. Life
always has my back.
