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.

The Things People Say

Over recent weeks I have overheard the following actual statements. Some of them remain mysterious; others were shared with me in the unfolding of entire stories.
"For a second there, I thought I lost my pom-poms."

"What's all this vitrupitive stuff!?"

"The river otters turned on the boat radio."

Male cyclist to female cyclist as they pedaled past me on a dirt road: 
"You're riding in your heels?" 
(I looked and, yes, she had on 'lady shoes' with big heels on them!)

"I'm writing like a normal human being."

"I judged up a storm the other day."

"These french fries are really awful. They're not even hot. But at least they were expensive."

"A deer rang the doorbell."
