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.

Away

I’m going away to my ancestors’ land. My land. A place I last visited in 2019: a pandemicand a whole other lifetimeago.  

 

Rolling hills. 

Green, green, green.

Teal, lime, seafoam shamrock seaweed.

Mint, moss, sage and jade. 

 

At the water’s edge.

On the rolling hills.

Across farms, behind cottages, tucked into roofs.

The breathing accent between wet stones. 

Green that separates green: cultivated fields delineated by living fences.

 

It is to this geography of soil and heart that I journeywith glee, with peace, with a yearning soul. 

 

I will return to this blog in mid-September. Until then, enjoy the Images of the Week that will arrive here each Wednesday morning.
