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: “Open to the Sunrise”

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


Open to the sunrise that presents itself to you each morning. It has done so since before you were conceived. The sun rose in vibrant celebration on the day of your birth, and it rises on each day of your entire life. Yes, it will unwrap its gifts for you again tomorrow and tomorrow’s tomorrow. Notice the sunrise’s shape, fluidity, texture, abundance. And then notice the beautiful sunrise within the inner landscape of your own soul.
