Nature's teachings... What we admire, notice or are attracted to in Nature can teach us a lot about ourselves. It can reflect different aspects of our personal essences and guide us. Trees, flowers, stones, animals, clouds, etc... all have their own folklore, symbology and "medicine" known throughout many cultures around the world. For the purpose of this post, I'll mention only a few simple ones and invite you to think about your own personal interpretations based on your sense of … [Read more...]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... It's always a matter of perspective. The call of a raven might sound beautiful to one, and sound aweful to another.

We always choose how we experience our world through our personal perspective - and it's very individual. As an example, I'm featuring the … [Read more...]

They are also amazing engineers, using sacred geometry to create the cells of their hives in the form of … [Read more...]

Our sacred garden in the universe... I just spent some time star-gazing... it's a cool and calm night with a crystal clear sky... so perfect, it's amazing that it's All Soul's Night and no snow...

So many things are just impossible to describe... not even photographs or words can capture how much those experiences move us at the level of our hearts and souls... We feel it within... Gazing up at … [Read more...]

Journeys into the unknown... As I watched this glorious Samhain sunset this evening, an enormous flock of Canada geese were flying in a long 'V' formation, southbound... They have begun their long migration to warmer locations in the southern U.S. or further... They don't let the unknowns of this incredible journey stop them...

The gift of sacred stewardship... As stewards of Mother Earth's beautiful landscapes and all who inhabit these environments, we never know what an impact a simple act of love can do for others that we co-exist with... It doesn't take much effort, yet the effect can be tremendous... When I lived in the city many years ago, I used native plants (plants indigenous to the environment of the area, like prairie and woodland plants) in the landscaping of the yard instead of exotics. I chose these … [Read more...]

Storms... I've always loved the intense energy of storms, especially thunderstorms... All storms, in their natural state, have a sacred purpose and are necessary to Mother Earth's well-being (and ours)... They play the important role of stirring up stagnant, heavy energy by clearing, purifying, recreating and energizing the landscape. In Nature the environment (including the air) feels more vibrant after a storm... Populated areas make things more complicated, however when storms … [Read more...]
