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.

This Morning

This morning we witnessed a miracle.

Colors on the southern horizon shifted in subtle threads: curled, elongated. Peach, pink, beige, gray, and pale yellow lines did a slow dance of movement and texture.

The Olympic Mountains to the west shone white-frosted and brilliant against a faintly-blue predawn sky; quickly they became iced in pink as the morning grew.

A blindingly white patch of faith appeared on the eastern horizon; it expanded, glowed, shimmered. And suddenly it burst up above the notch in the mountain range, warming - just.barely - the freezing air.

Dawn!

This morning we witnessed a miracle!
