Disoriented in the Woods

April 16, 2010

In the last couple of weeks, I’ve noticed that I get a tad confused about my path while walking in the woods—ever since the snow melted. I remember that I had the same problem for a few days when the snow first fell. I don’t get lost, but the path simply isn’t as clear. The [...]

Headed Home

April 9, 2010

The last couple of days I talked about what I would miss about the northeast. Today, I’ll mention some things that excite me about moving back to my home state of Georgia. I was pleasantly surprised by how comforting the familiarity of the land felt to me when I visited our future home. The many [...]

Splashing Inside My Chest

March 30, 2010

When the ocean surges, don’t let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest! Rumi I think of all the times that I have missed experiencing life deeply; all the times that life flirts with me, invites me, asks me to dance, and I fail to notice. I don’t notice because I’m distracted, [...]

How to Stay Grounded During Difficult Times (part 1)

March 23, 2010

In many ways, the world seems to be spinning out of control. We hear about economic meltdown, peak oil, climate change, over-population, species extinction, and more. We experience the breakdown of relationships, either personally or of those we love. The political arena is a muddle. And the list goes on. How do we cope in [...]

Silky Seeds of Life

March 19, 2010

This is a weed–Milkweed. Milkweed is the host plant for the Monarch Butterfly. What you see in the photos is the flower turned to seed. The silky threads are almost ready to release to the wind which will carry the seeds to their new destination. Those seeds embedded themselves into the soil somewhere last fall, [...]

Delight in the Ordinary

March 16, 2010

This post is inspired by Elora’s blog entry yesterday in Just Off the One-Lane Road. Her entry was about that which goes unnoticed. As I viewed her photos of moss, lichen, and bark I found myself thinking of how much I enjoy photographing those three subjects. Bark, lichen, and moss are so ordinary that we [...]

Rainy Day Treasures

March 15, 2010

I love wandering in the woods. I feel like I’m on a treasure hunt. Wet days like these often hold wonderful gifts–if I’m willing to notice. I’m pretty sure that these are raccoon tracks. Aren’t the toes fascinating? I can’t tell you how often I forget that rainy days can offer the best photo ops. [...]

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. [...]

Spring Whisperings

March 8, 2010

I saw a bee yesterday for the first time since the fall. Spring is whispering! There is still a lot of snow on the ground but spring is in the air. We can all feel it–even the goats. Soon tiny buds and shoots will appear, then explode. This is the time of year when I [...]
