“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” ~John Muir Walking alone is one of my most favored activities. The solitude, the quiet, and the connection to nature is so renewing for me. My mind can wander to wherever it needs to and I can be one with my heart. Taking it [...]

Finding me

My latest spiritual deepening comes from The Book of Awakening, written by Mark Nepo. It is a rich and wonderfully insightful daily reading that both grounds and opens me. Yesterday Nepo wrote about finding ourselves within the aspects of nature. He offered an idea of learning from nature–how the stone cracks to let light in, [...]

Nature’s Lessons

Three days of blustery wind gusts. Interesting to me how nature can remind me that the external chaos of life offers a chance to practice staying grounded and centered. Just as the wind can howl through the trees in a fit of rage and the swirling of dust and dirt create an unsettling, our own [...]

Each morning I walk a trail that follows a pasture where the early morning stirrings of cows are heard in the near distance. Sometimes the cows walk along side me as I make my way up the trail to the pond area. From my peripheral vision I can see the movement of the herd matching [...]

Nature doesn’t hurry along, spending endless amounts of energy wishing that time would either pass faster or move slower. Nature doesn’t anticipate the blossom, it simply exists in the moment and is content with the natural order that it is. Catching myself anticipating the day that the sunflower will burst into yellow goodness, I realized [...]
In awe

JUST AS THE TREE IS….. As the wind blows through the tree, it does not complain Rather, it allows the air to move through it. As the trees roots are deeply embedded into the Earth It is strengthened by its connection to Life. As the tree reaches towards the sky with great solitude, It also [...]
