Like the pull of the earth
on a compass needle,
he was drawn in all directions
to explore diverse geographies.
Mountains, plains, deserts.
Rivers, lakes, streams.
Atlantic, Pacific, Great Lakes.
North, South, East, West.
Encouraged by desire.
Motivated to travel.
Restored by hope.
Inspired by the Spirit.
Every road trip,
all the hiking trails,
each photo excursion,
made him feel alive.
Born to be
a "ramblin' man".
Always leaving,
always gone.
