Upper Peninsula homeless shelter had to exceed its capacity this winter. Things could get worse.
"So we ended up sheltering an additional about 25 people over the last three months beyond our capacity at our regular shelter because we were really concerned about them succumbing to the elements, frankly."

It's easy to look forward to the lusher, greener days ahead when you live in a place like this, where the Midwest ends and the North begins...
A picture I took that, looking back on it, makes me want to return to Michigan's Upper Peninsula: "Falling Water".

Kindness doesn’t always show up when I expect it. I’m learning I can’t control that—only how much space I give it, and who I choose to remain.
When I was a teenager, Dad and I were at a grocery store checkout where the cashier was having a hard day. Dad met her with kindness anyway,. I asked him how he could do that and he told me, “Her bad mood doesn’t have to change who I am.”
I’ve carried that lesson with me ever since. Some days it’s easier than others. But it’s still the way I want to move through the world.
This photograph was taken nearly twenty years ago at Tahquamenon Falls, on a cold winter day when the footing wasn’t easy. Dad was always willing to come along when I headed out with the camera. I think of it now as a reminder that I’m still walking with his guidance, even now.

Today’s small moment — remembering Monocle Lake in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
This photograph was taken a couple of summers ago at Monocle Lake, near the Point Iroquois Lighthouse, just west of Sault Ste. Marie. We visited this lake often when I was growing up, and it’s one of those places that has stayed with me over the years.
Looking back at this image, I’m reminded of how peaceful it always felt there — calm water, quiet trees, and a sense of stillness that never seemed to change. Some places live on through memory just as clearly as they do in real life.
