Houselust to Wonderlust

Journeying from myopic nesting to wonder-fueled nomadism, from helicopter homeownership to seasonal migration and vagabonding,  “Houselust to Wonderlust” brings our Rosslyn adventure full circle.

Between 2001 and 2006 an initially subtle but eventually transformative shift altered the course of my life. Rosslyn was the centerpiece of this “Wanderlust to Houselust” evolution, and she has been likewise the catalyst for a subsequent change still germinal, still incomplete. This ongoing metamorphosis is at the heart of “Houselust to Wonderlust.” Much as my itinerant years were eclipsed by home-making on steroids, my Rosslyn-centric chapter has eventually yielded to a fresh wave of wayward wondering and peripatetic impulses. Perhaps the “Archeology of Home” and “Rehab Ad Infinitum” catalyzed this change. Or simply growing older. Or maybe Rosslyn’s cozy community on the Adirondack Coast mysteriously rekindled my curiosity and my roving soul. My “Houselust to Wonderlust” posts assiduously if imperfectly chronicle the push-pull between hyper localism and wayward adventure.
