Amazing Grace

We drove for 9 days.

Laura Ingalls Wilder home in Missouri


We travelled through 13 states.

We drove 3,494 miles.

We connected with the earth and discovered the beauty found on the side of the road. Nature does not discriminate. Wild grows regardless of it's location.

We took time almost everyday to be in nature. To observe. To play. We took time to visit with each other in our hearts. We took time to talk about how we felt in each space. We talked about how we felt as we drove further from our old home and our dear friends. We laughed, we cried and we were always reminded of the Divine Love in all moments.

What I couldn't capture in pictures were all of the wild animals we saw, both alive and dead on the sides of the road. We have a special fondness for the Antelope in Wyoming. They touched us with their beauty and wild abandon. I was also saddened to see, after 18 years of being away, that the wild Buffalo that I used to see at the Colorado-Wyoming border completely gone. That night I felt a sadness that went deep.

The most important thing we experienced was LOVE. A deep supportive love that endures all things. A deep love that just knows what is needed in that moment. A deep love that know no boundaries.

We have arrived in the Evergreen State. Back to our roots. Ready for the next adventures. 



In Wildness,
