My husband and I are both private pilots. My husband built the plane we fly, which takes us to many wonderful places. Contemplating Change is an introspective analysis of the challenges I faced when we took a get-away trip in the plane for a few days. My mother had died 6 months earlier, and I was working 70 hours a week. I thought some time away for a while would help me slow down and sort some things out. My thoughts during this trip are communicated via a combination of poetry, poetic prose and photographs taken by my husband.
