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: “Make Beauty”

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


Return to an outdoor location that is familiar to you – backyard, local green space, hiking trail, water’s edge. Spend quiet time noticing the shapes, textures, patterns, and colors that surround you. Without hurting any of the living beings around you, create something beautiful using only what you find around you in the moment. It can be a simple circle of stones, an intricate collage of fallen leaves, a small pile of twigs and cones.
