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.

be.
abide.
love…fearlessly.

the haven is not in figuring it out, pretending there is a schedule-able outcome, tidying up the tasks, parsing out emotions.

the haven is in seeing clearly, however glaringly sharp, the stillness at the center…
