Growing Up

March 10, 2010

This is a juvenile seagull. See his red mouth (click on photo to enlarge)? He is standing in a classic “feed me!” pose. He looks a little helpless and lost to me…and adorable. I love to watch the baby/juvenile birds. Their antics humor me. I’ve been thinking a lot about growing up lately. I’ve been [...]

Sanderlings at Dawn

March 9, 2010

This past weekend, I started reading Integral Life Practice: A 21st-Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening by Ken Wilber, Terry Patten, Adam Leonard & Marco Morelli. It appeals to me because it is a holistic/integrated approach to well-being that can be applied regardless of one’s spiritual or religious orientation. [...]

Staying Small

March 5, 2010

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Marianne Williamson Why do I stay small? In round about ways, I’ve been exploring this question for some years. At times I’ve thought I stay small because I’m not smart enough, not talented enough, not disciplined enough, not strong enough, not courageous enough—not adequate. Lately, [...]

Letting Go

March 3, 2010

This Blue Jay seems to be grasping the branch with all his might. When he grasps so tightly, he has to place all of his focus right there upon that which he grasps, thus, his focus becomes very small and limited. When I am grasping, clutching, clinging to something, whether onto a belief, idea, person, [...]

Deeper Reflections

February 19, 2010

I’ve been thinking about my mother these last couple of days, since this week marks the 14th anniversary of her death. I have had an ache of deep grief from time to time these last couple of years because I realize that I never really saw my mother. I so desperately needed her to be [...]

Dangerous Waters

February 12, 2010

I love this photo. I read the message on the sign and it sounds really scary! And then I see the herons and other birds resting peacefully there (click photo to enlarge). Yes, there is danger. This sign is on a dam and the waters are released from time to time. I imagine that the [...]

Hummingbird & Reconfiguration

February 4, 2010

I don’t feel well this morning. Haven’t for a few weeks now. Been fighting a wanna be sinus infection, although I seem to be keeping the upper hand with my netie pot. And my body hurts from over doing it around the farm while trying to ward off the sinus infection. This morning I was [...]

Zip-a-dee-do-dah

February 3, 2010

Mister Bluebird wasn’t on my shoulder but he was surprisingly close! I had put out various bird houses around the yard, and this fellow decided to set up home right outside my back window. He was quite brave and protective! Unfortunately, he saw his reflection in my window, so he began doing battle with himself. [...]

Vermont Cob Home

January 27, 2010

This is where my little family and I lived for six months in the winter of 2008-2009. The home is located in central Vermont, smack dab in the middle of the woods in the Green Mountains. Buttercup is doing a fine job of guarding our home! Living in this little home was one of the [...]
