It's easy to feel disconnected from our true nature when lifestyles include very little connection with Nature. However, anyone who works with the public on a regular basis has most likely noticed the effects of full moons on people's behaviours! There's a direct relationship. The moon continuously offers us a reminder that we're intimately related to the cycles of Nature and lunar phases, regardless of our lifestyles. It reminds us that we are Nature ourselves. We can't hide from the … [Read more...]

Nature is ever-changing. Every day offers something completely new... There's a different sky, different weather combinations, different nuances to the environment, different sounds... Changes are always in motion... There are different seasons, different cycles of the moon, different phases with day and night, the tides flow in and recede, the humidity of the air fluctuates... Nothing is ever boring or repeated in Nature. Change is a natural and crucial part … [Read more...]

When we're attuned to Nature with awareness, we notice the natural cycles of life as they unfold. The moon, the sun, the plants, the animals... they all speak to us and notify us of change. When we know the nuances of different environments, we can even tell when seasons are transitioning to another, regardless what month the calendar might say. Nature is ever-changing and doesn't follow the linear time that humans have created. It simply goes through its cycles and every year and … [Read more...]

Purposeful life and death... The cycles of life are so obvious in Nature and change is a daily occurrence. It's obvious in natural environments that nothing exists without purpose... Even death has great purpose... During one of many glorious hikes at over 6,000 feet in elevation in Yosemite Nat'l Park, a constant drumming sound echoed throughout the forest... Looking way up at this dead tree, I discovered the drummer - a pileated woodpecker, perched near the top, carving a circular … [Read more...]

The dance of the seasonal cycles... The Winter Solstice arrives at 11:11 am CST in the northern hemisphere in my time zone tomorrow, December 21st! Talk about an incredible portal opening up for the new season!... I will be limiting my time online tomorrow, to be fully present to that significant day. In celebration of the changing seasons I'm sharing a poem I wrote in 2010 for my first book "Mending Mother Earth with Native Plants".

Luna and Gaia's intimate relationship... Every few days and nights around and on a Full Moon, I feel the energy intensely... Here on the celestial body of Mother Earth, we're affected by all other celestial bodies, especially in our solar system. We're not an Earth "bubble" separate from everything else in our glorious universe... We're all so connected and the most obvious example is closest to our home of Gaia... Since the Moon began its orbit around Earth, these two have had an … [Read more...]

Magnificent, long-distance-migrating butterfly... The gorgeous Monarch butterfly happens to be a master of flight and gliding... The eastern populations of southern Canada have begun their long migration south to central Mexico where they will overwinter until late February!... Migrations are incredible in themselves, never mind by a butterfly... What's even more amazing about these butterflies is that the generation that flies south in Autumn have never even been to the overwintering … [Read more...]

The dancing cycles of Mother Earth... I wish you all a glorious * SOLSTICE * !... Summer officially begins for us in the northern hemisphere and Winter officially begins for those of you in the southern hemisphere!... It's either the longest or shortest day of the year depending on where you are, and the Solstice's official time is either today or tomorrow depending on your time zone... Here in Hawai'i it's this evening. May this Solstice be an empowering one for … [Read more...]

The infinite cycle of circulating energy in our world (inside and out)... the continuous dance that transforms energy from one form into another... An obvious example here, volcanic eruptions that transformed into rainforests on the islands of Hawai'i... This photo was taken in Kilauea Iki crater showing the hardened lava (that covers a very large area), with a young tree sprouting from it (they're everywhere, dotting the crater here and there)... They are beautiful seedlings of the … [Read more...]

A master of flight and migration (especially for a butterfly!)... the glorious Monarch!... It's so significant to me, having appeared in truly incredible ways during highly transformative times throughout my life... What a Divine gift it has been to discover it here on the Big Island, when answering Hawaii's call has been a giant leap of faith!... I had no idea the Monarch exists beyond the North American continent!... I've been familiar with this gorgeous, big butterfly since my youth, as … [Read more...]
