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. Susan and Rosslyn were central to my “Wanderlust to Houselust” evolution, and they’ve been the catalysts for a subsequent change, still germinal, still incomplete, that I call “Houselust to Wonderlust.” Much as my itinerant years were eclipsed by home-making on steroids, my Rosslyn-centric chapter eventually yielded to a fresh wave of wayward wondering and peripatetic impulses. This metamorphosis is ongoing, and I’m still sorting it out. Perhaps the “Archeology of Home” and “Rehab Ad Infinitum” catalyzed this more recent shift. 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.
