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: “The Gift”

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

 
Go outside right now. Don’t pause. Simply walk to the door and step out. Pay attention to the very first thing you notice out of doors. Is it the temperature or the precipitation, a creature or plant, the texture of bark or the particular slant of light on a tree? Suspend disbelief and consider that very first thing you noticed a special delivery message to you. What gift does it hold for you? Thank the bearer of the message before going back inside.
