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” blog posts offer a tiny, gentle respite during this incredible transition we’re in. Rest for a few seconds here in the hearth of everyday nature and creativity. 


"Ocean Ongoing"

Layers and layers of incoming ocean waves serve as a reminder that life goes on. That we are held. That sometimes something hits us that feels overwhelming, but we can rest assured that we will make it through. We might get tumbled by it, or we might ride it to shore. But we are buoyant and resilient, able to float back up to the surface to drink deeply of life.
