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.

Medium

What’s your medium?

Is it your:

Healing hands?
Paint – water, acrylic, oil?
Words?
Fibers woven, knitted, crocheted?
Dance steps?
Photographs? 
Ideas?
Musical notes lovingly plucked, tapped, blown, rung, strummed?
Singing voice?
Clay, glass, light, leadership, prayer, or refusal to fight?
In-depth knowledge?
Soil, flame, water, breath?
Activism?

Is it your compassionate spirit in service to others?
Is it your curriculum?
Is it your entrepreneurial savviness?
Is it your willingness, courage, humility, open-mindedness, persistence, fairness, honesty, stamina, quietude?
Is it your steadfastness during a storm?
Is it your earthiness or adventurousness?
Is it your acceptance or spiritual surrender or wisdom?
Is it your presence as you abide with your own or others’ pain?
Is it your ability to deeply listen?
Is it your resilience?
It is your humor, your adaptability, your gypsy tendencies?

What is your primary way of passionately engaging the world? Your strength, your work, your vision? How do you reach the world, your community, your circle of intimates, or the core of your own vulnerable self?

This troubled world needs you. Whatever it is you do, whatever it is you offer, whatever gift allows you to move through the world with integrity…do it, offer it, nurture it.
