About Me

I am an expatriate writer, teacher, and recent Spain transplant.  One of my favorite things is when I get to share my writing with others, and my hope is that Pilgrimage to Somewhere can be a vehicle for that.  For those of you considering a move abroad, international teaching, or if you would just like to read a bit more of my work, let’s talk.

Prayer of Br. Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.  I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.  Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.

And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
