I’ve been featuring video shot during our 2019 trip to St. John since episode 47. Revisiting what I wrote to accompany that edition – and almost every one since – pining away for past times is clearly my recurring theme. Honoring the present does remain vastly important for me, always, and yet, this digital pathway is sure to involve even more savoring of sweet, bygone times.

Dipping back into this original series I first launched a decade ago, I am finding it is both a fascinating time capsule and a deeply meaningful map to the future.
