Unexpected delights of Nature... It always fills me with such great joy to have surprise encounters with wildlife in Nature and beyond... On yesterday's glorious Winter Solstice, after I drummed from my heart with so much love and appreciation to All, I went on a Nature hike and as I returned, I encountered these 2 beautiful woodpeckers that suddenly showed up!... The large one is a Pileated, and the small one is a Downy... I found it so significant that THESE are also drummers - … [Read more...]

Delightful surprises of Nature!... It's so easy to overlook things in our environment that we get used to seeing. We might see the same species of birds, mammals, trees or plants and not really notice them anymore, since they're no longer a novelty... I tend to do that in urban areas, but when I'm out in Nature, I always see things with wonder - as if seeing them for the first time. Even if I've seen Chickadees, Oak trees or Squirrels hundreds of times, I still delight in every one I … [Read more...]

The completely unexpected...! (Spirit has a sense of humour) I was sitting on the veranda to enjoy the gorgeous weather while I write my book... There's so many extremes going on, I asked Spirit for a clear sign to confirm that I'm still on track and everything is exactly as it should be... Shortly after, a little bird like the one in the photo (a junco), suddenly flew up to a window, flutter-stopped just before boinking itself in it, then flew up to me a few yards away, PERCHED on my … [Read more...]

Gifted surprises from the sky... It's a New Moon and this makes the stars, etc. that much more visible. Recently, the northern lights have been very bright and active. I woke up in the middle of the night and looked outside the bedroom window to see if I'd catch a glimpse of them... I saw the brightly shining stars and constellations that seemed so close and were so clear. No northern lights to be seen, however, within one minute I saw two gloriously big and bright falling stars shoot … [Read more...]

Little miracles with big impacts... size doesn't matter! Some require an open mind and wonder for everything in existence to be fully appreciated… I’ve always seen the world with awe, and notice even the tiniest or most subtle things… When I lived at my last home for 2 years, I noticed this most peculiar, itty bitty winged being that suddenly showed up one day… I’d never seen one like that before and unless there was more than one, it had a surprising longevity!… Although it’s like a … [Read more...]

Heart desires manifest in the most amazing ways!... Yesterday evening as I worked on my book outside on the open air deck, one of my dear brothers visiting out of province with his family gifted me a little feather that he found on the ground. Everyone who knows me well knows how special feathers are to me. ... I stayed out late since it was hot and humid (my kind of weather!) and also extremely windy (so no mosquitoes!). As I gathered my things to go indoors, the wind suddenly gusted and … [Read more...]
MIRACLE OF THE DAY
Life supports us every step of the way in many forms... Wow... so many transitions are occurring with MANY!... we can barely keep up it seems!... BUT, we're not doing this alone and we're not expected to either! ... I've been seeing so many beautiful dragonflies of all types and colours... they are also masters of transformational transitions and they do it with so much grace... From eggs, to aquatic nymphs to agile masters of flight - truly inspiring to see! When you feel like … [Read more...]

Various art forms created to preserve and convey traditional teachings about the harmony between the stewards of Mother Earth/Nature and us humans... whether through stories, poetry, paintings, carvings, dances, etc. This whale bone pendant was carved by a Polynesian man (known as Ben Muti) who sells exquisite pendants he creates from cow horn and bone, petrified mammoth bone as well as special ones of whale bone. Each one conveys traditional symbols with great meaning. I love that the … [Read more...]
