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.

Cottage


Cozy garden of my dreams
Flowers periwinkle, orange, golden and red
Salmon, milky pink, magenta, fuchsia, 
Feathery plants reminiscent of other times and   
     places
Over which my hands and memory roam
Linger

Greenhouse, sheds
Mantra stones
Steppingstones

Modestly-sized
Moderately-priced
Modern meets retro meets antique meets haven



The colors do not cease on the    
      inside of the abode:
Red, black and white
Minty stretching hallway
Earthy taupes
Cantaloupe
The Rose Room
And a gemmed bathroom with 
     cascading curtained columns


Hills we call “mountains” are visible
As we sit in a valley, perfectly nestled 
Yet spacious in area external
Internal

Quiet
Sidewalkless
Plantings, dogs, cats, comforts easy and simple

Cottage living.
Bliss.
