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.

Hearth: comfort, beauty, nourishment for the soul

TEALarbor stories’ “Hearth” series offers a tiny, gentle respite during this incredible transition we’re in. Rest for a few seconds here in the hearth of nature and creativity.  



"Thorns and Flourish"

On a rainy morning walk last week, I came upon this brilliantly-blooming brambles patch. I couldn't help but notice how vibrant the flowers are amidst the thick spines of the shoots. Flowers and thorns, beauty in difficulty. May you find your own special way to flourish even in these uncertain times.
