When Words Take Flight
Human flight has been one of mankind's most compelling muses since the dawn of literature. In this blog, flying and writing merge to explore how human ingenuity and art can transport us. Through travelogues and stories I hope to illuminate our spirit of discovery and to evoke the siren song that calls from the horizon.

Over the first six months of 2020 I went from touring Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand in a Twin Otter, to suddenly experiencing the isolation of the Covid-19 lockdown.
These writings are drawn from journal entries written while I was in Africa. I feel that now is a time when we need to remember that movement and the need for human interactions and relationships are hardwired into us. They are among the things that sustain our souls, and should be celebrated.
