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.

What If Words Were ...

... paint:    they'd slide wet and vibrant onto the canvas of meaning 

... clay:     they'd hold the shape of the potter's hands, a cupped vessel for wounds

... wood:   they'd feel the lathe's rotation and swoon in delight at their transformation to new shape

... glass:    they’d let in light and glow in brilliant hues

... yarn:     they'd weave together into the most beautiful tapestry

... fabric:   they'd flow and be stitched - bringing healing to the sick

... paper:   they'd layer up into collaged experience, or lie flat and bound and potent

... leaves:   they'd rustle and change colors and bud and inspire 

... photos:  they'd capture truth from time immemorial
