The Power of Presence

June 25, 2010

“Presence is a more powerful catalyst for change than analysis.” Rachel Naomi Remen I’ve been on a media fast for a little over a week now.  As I clear out the noise, I am beginning to recognize that I have some deep sadness.  I know that a large part of the sadness is about my [...]

Responsibility of Connection

May 13, 2010

There are many bluebirds where we live.  Seeing them reminds me of this fellow.  I had the wonderful opportunity to connect with him up close for about a week.  What a joy to see him everyday and have this kind of intimate encounter with him.  I felt truly honored. True connection is an honor and, [...]

What Do You See?

April 28, 2010

Believe it or not, this is a photo of the side of an old barn.  These are the colors that were present there. I simply ran up the saturation to emphasize those colors; otherwise, you would only see browns and grays with extremely subtle–almost undetectable–blues, reds, and yellows.  And look at the design!  I would [...]

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

April 27, 2010

Yesterday I shared a story about a pigeon and a goat who have found a way to coexist.  I asked how we humans could stop the bickering and learn to connect.  Today, I’d like to share with you some of the ideas that have evolved for me.  Your ideas may be quite different, and I [...]

April 16, 2010

pond reflections

Here, in northeast PA, we heat the home with a monster outdoor wood stove.  We call it the Beast.  It usually works like a charm, but the other day I noticed that the water light was off.  It’s very important to keep water running through it.  No problem, I just filled it. The next day, [...]

Missy and Her Feral Cats

March 11, 2010

This feral cat lives in the barn on the farm that I care-take.  He’s a feisty fellow and has caused a stir or two among the other cats there.  One cat lives in the barn legitimately and that’s Missy, whom I love.  One day I heard crazy cat screams and took off running for the [...]

I See Soul

February 25, 2010

This is spooky.  She is blind.  She may be the most soulful horse I’ve ever met.  She has a courageous vulnerability that is gripping.  She moves through her world very differently than the horses around her.  She navigates the huge pasture with amazing grace and courage.  She may not be able to see me but [...]
