Dance as an expression of loving appreciation... I love to dance barefeet outdoors in Nature... every step a kiss and every movement an act, of love and gratitude to Mother Earth, the Divine and All... As I worked on my book, I suddenly felt inspired to take a break and dance in the sunshine and wind, surrounded by the prairie and trees... I dance to my favourite music on my ipod or simply dance to the rythms of Nature and Mother Earth's heart beat... As I started dancing on this … [Read more...]

Metamorphosis... common for insects, it also allows us to shed what no longer serves us to become who we truly are... Most insects undergo several types of metamorphosis as they evolve through the stages of growth to reach adulthood. I've always marvelled at every type of metamorphosis, from simple (the insect simply sheds its outgrown skins as it grows larger and larger - such as beetles) to complete (the insect completely changes forms throughout its growth stage - such as … [Read more...]

Symbiotic relationships - a natural, beautiful way of being... Throughout Nature we see examples of mutually beneficial relationships. Instead of take, take, take... these relationships are give and take... circular exchanges of energies instead of linear. They are relationships that circulate the energy flow to all so that none of the beings involved are depleted, but instead are strengthened and expanded by it. An obvious example - the pollinators, such as bees. The flowers of … [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...]

Moths, although less conspicuous than their diurnal cousins, display intricate patterns, colours, shapes and humming flutters in the night... When the sun sets and the butterflies rest, moths take over their role as pollinators. They don't receive as much attention as the colourful, more obvious butterflies, but they can rival them with their unique charms. Many have wings that look like leaves and some wings are as large as a hand in wingspan. They also often look neutral in colour but … [Read more...]

Hidden opportunities to experience more of our world's glorious wonders... I was woken up at 5am this morning by a buzzing mosquito, which isn't the greatest way to wake up!... BUT... when I saw the time, I looked outside at the lake and the sunrise was beckoning me... Mist was billowing over the mirror surface of Royal Lake and the sun was radiant with fire colours... My entire family reunited from out of province to celebrate our mom's milestone birthday, and spending a few … [Read more...]

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...]

In celebration of Canada Day... My natal country Canada is so vast and gloriously diverse with every ecosystem, weather and temperature possible!... Sending love and appreciation from the middle of the Pacific Ocean to Canada's inhabitants of all races and kingdoms - human, animal, plant, stone, water, etc... ♥ (this photo was taken from an island on Lake of the Woods near Kenora, Ontario) With love and wonder-filled spirit, … [Read more...]

There's something so awe-inspiring about birds of prey... I love all birds, and different types invoke different emotions within me. When I encounter a bird of prey (including Eagles, Owls, Hawks, Vultures, Falcons - especially the larger of their species), I am simply in awe... Masters of the skies as they soar and hunt in silence, and of sight with greater perspective... They exhibit prowess, grace and balance of life between Earth and Sky. They invoke in me a special kind of respect … [Read more...]
