Celebrating wood, wind, and words
​in St. Paul, Minnesota

What are Moments in the Park?
Moments in the park capture the essence of a sight, sound, scent, or sensation.
Moments are specific to a particular place and time. They often relate to the weather - wind, rain, snow, clouds - or seasonal changes in plants or animals - new leaves appearing, flowers blooming, birds singing.
Many of my moments are found in my local city park. But a "park" can be anywhere something catches your attention, your awareness, your imagination. I have found moments in the median of busy roads while running errands, in the play of light on the bathroom wall, and from the windows of airplanes.
The practice of being open to moments, of observing the particular details of a place and noticing changes from day to day and month to month, is a way of being mindful and present, of engaging with and appreciating the natural world wherever you happen to be.

While I was on hiatus for the latter half of 2018, I was still composing moments here and there. I just didn't have time to prepare them and get them posted. I plan to catch up over the next few weeks with monthly installments, working forward from June.

In a fantastic feat of atmospheric prestidigitation, with nothing more than air and water, downtown Minneapolis disappears.
