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.

Pause

I treasure you, Blog Reader. Your attention to these posts warms my heart. Thank you! I always have Earthy-creative things to share with you that I hope will inspire your own journey deeper into compassionate relationship with all beings, including the more-than-humans and your own inner wild places.

 

For now, I need to take a pause on these word-filled Friday posts. I have other creative and writing projects that must be finished, not least of all my book manuscript that needs my full focus as I make substantive edits. 

 

In my community efforts with interfaith climate justice work, I have been calling for pauses at events. People are beginning to expect that I will be the person at event planning meetings who calls for us to build moments of reflective silence into these group gatherings. Now it is time to offer my creative work that same moment of contemplative, quiet endeavor. 

 

On the forthcoming post-less Fridays, feel free to:

·      visit the fourteen years of blog posts archived on this site 

(scroll down the left sidebar to select by date, or do a search on the upper left);

·      check out the many short and long videos on my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmH2LvfKbyw317YkMuiLp8w);

·      go to the website media page for articles, videos, photos, interviews (http://www.tealarborstories.com/pg11.cfm).

 

But please rest assured that Monday Meditations and Wednesday Image of the Week blog posts will continue (except during the winter holy days when TEALarbor stories’ office will be closed Dec. 11th – Jan. 3rd). 

 

I look forward to seeing you on Fridays again on the other side of this productive expanse. It is my fervent invocation that you will recognize your own needs for pause, reflection, and soul nourishment as we move toward winter in the northern hemisphere.
