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.

Re

I lie in the soft bed of needles beneath the wide redcedars, and I am
Renewed

I hike along the mud flats of pungent low tide, and I am
Refreshed

I await the birth of the sun in the brisk air of predawn, and I am
Restored

I breathe in the deep, sweet scent of newborn tree blossoms, and I am
Revitalized

I watch the vibrant painting of sunset unfold across the sky and water, and I am
Released

I say prayers of gratitude for the multihued, varied textures of my home, This Planet Earth, and I am
Relieved


Happy “Earth Day” on April 22, 2020 and Every Day!
