Blog of Jennifer J. Wilhoit/TEALarbor stories: All

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.

All

the good and juicy stuff

arises as we

sit still

or respond to the depths of the moment

or in the blink of an eye

or over a geologic eternity

the ripe and enlivening goodies

occur as we

roam a landscape

or stay light enough to float on air

or embrace spontaneity

or carefully tend a plan

all the miracles of a small life

inflame passion

sate fully

embolden imagination

carry breath

offer peace

even as they quench hunger, thirst, loneliness;

they are a shelter

and they all begin with connection – inner and outer in a powerful dance,

says the introvert.
