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 WRITING TIP: “The Depths of Gratitude”

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

Go to the depths of your gratitude…
Write a sentence about a time that was really difficult for you. Then allow your pen to move quickly across the page describing the things that helped you get through that tough experience. Generate a list of those supports; then express your gratitude for them. 
Just as the gems of the ocean live in the depths of its water, so too do your insights reside a bit below the surface of daily routines.
