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.

Monday Musings NATURE PRACTICE: “Gather”

TEALarbor stories’ Monday Musings are quotes, poems, & practices offering simple ways to explore the ecotone of the inner/outer landscape.



Spend a few minutes in a natural area. Notice what’s on the ground. Identify a natural item that has fallen there, that does not “belong to” anybody, that is not rooted or still growing, and that would not cause harm to nature or others if removed. Choose this item carefully, out of love, and take it back inside your home. Place it in a special location – a shelf, an altar, a sill, a table – and pay homage to it in whatever way feels comfortable to you.
