Update

Since previous posts, all of which I decided to eradicate, my detours have taken me many places: London, Paris, Provence, three class shy of coursework for a Ph.D. in English education, marriage, a quest to cultivate my beer and wine palate, hiking, foreign films, countless books, and a renewed spiritual quest. My husband challenged me to start a blog and to write everyday for lent. I've missed a few days, but I'm doing much better with Honey Bees and Locusts than I've done with previous blog attempts. So, even if short-lived, that has inspired me to put the an blog to death and resurrect it again with new content and a new look. I rather like the title, so I decided not to change that.

All of the above detours have left me wanting more--with the exception of the Ph.D. I want to travel more, read more, drink more (for educational reasons), and love more, especially my husband.

About a year ago, I told a colleague of mine that I thought I might want to blog about poetry and things spiritual. Maybe that's what I'll do. Maybe I'll use it for daily detours. The palette is clean and open to possibility.
