Nomadic. Storyteller. Soul searcher. Experience hungry. Music carnivore. Dreamer of better things. They call me H.C. You can find stories about my travels, stories from my decades on earth, and thoughts about why the world turns in our vast universe.
Bon Iver recorded their 2007 album while in a cabin for three straight months in northwestern Wisconsin. For Emma, Forever ago plays in my thoughts as I make way way across the rural roads along the mighty Lake Superior.
The occasional farmhouse is all one sees from the road, sometimes the beginnings of a dirt road that I imagine leads to hidden gems of solitude. Open fields of haystack rolls call to my inner child, and I run through the sweet grass in between the stacks.
I find a sandy trail that takes me to the shoreline. An old picnic table is set upon the shore, rotting away in contentment. I rest for awhile and take in the beauty, which is easy to do in this hidden area of Northern Wisconsin.
A abandoned schoolhouse from the mid 20th century begs for me to come closer, it’s been far too long since anyone has stepped into her walls. I check the mailbox, peer around sagging doors, feel the splintering wood.
The ghosts here fill me with a midwestern calm, and I can appreciate why people call this area home.
