Welcome!

Welcome! This is a place to share how we celebrate & deepen our relationship to Nature. Here you will find stories, images, & ideas about wilderness, human nature, & soulfulness. Drawing from the experiences of everyday living, the topics on this blog include: forays into the natural world, the writing life, community service, meditation, creativity, grief & loss, inspiration, & whatever else emerges from these. I invite you on this exploration of the wild within & outside of us: the inner/outer landscape.

Gooey (Or, "Yes, you")

Most of the wise dears with like-hearts live at a distance over geography that allows only infrequent shared-breath-and-space visits.

Sometimes temporal distance, too, characterizes the landscape: blank spaces between communications.

I admit that I rolled around on the grass after the sun had warmed the dandelions. I confess that I stuck my nose deep inside the bouquet, and lifted my face back up with a dusting of golden pollen on my nose and cheeks. And I thought of you. Yes, you.

These passions flow out of my expressions, a gush of emotive sticky goo.

Always, always, we-who-are-connected can feel each other’s presence in some undeniably necessary moments. PreciousGemsInMyLandscape: please be assured that the whisper of support you feel as the hummingbird passes by is nothing less than a strong, affirming thought sent to you by a loved one.

This terrain of relational experience is vast, containing many sunrises and moonscapes. The truth, the hardiness, the heartiness of relationship are deeply rooted.
