Field notes from the Danube and beyond
The world is older than your deadline
Three continents, thirty-five years, and a quiet case for living on purpose. Told between two rivers, the Chattahoochee and the Danube.
Start here. The Philosophy
My father took me to Romania. I never really left.
The career was the easy part. What he handed me, without ever meaning to, was a doorway into a whole region, and a way of moving through a life that took me thirty years to understand.
On the river
The Danube has kept this pace for ten thousand years. It has somewhere to be, and it is in no rush to get there. Neither, anymore, am I.
