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.

Monday Musings: “Greatness of a Community”

TEALarbor stories’ Monday Musings are quotes, mantras, reveries, poems & practices offering simple ways to explore the ecotone of the inner/outer landscape.

I prepared this Monday offering several days ago...about 36 hours before the violent Napa earthquake hit our community. We have been totally comforted, swaddled, held by our neighbors, friends and family -  our community - near and far. This morning, I feel the power of the following quote in a new and fresh way I couldn't have imagined when "it chose me" on Friday afternoon. 

“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members, a heart of grace, and a soul generated by love.”
Coretta Scott King
