Pure wonderment... Every moment there's something new to experience through our senses - the physical, common ones and the intuitive ones. No moment is ever exactly the same as another. Life keeps things interesting this way - change is natural! The secret to making the most of every moment is to be open with wonder - like children. To experience our inner and outer worlds as if every moment is for the first time. Instead of assuming we already know everything about something, by … [Read more...]

This one little bird makes it officially spring for me!... Migrating birds are truly amazing. Like clockwork, they show up again in spring after a long winter. For years I would hear a robin begin to sing in my city backyard exactly on March 30. It always left me in wonder, at how precisely timed it was with returning to its northern range to raise a family!... The American robin has always been my "spring bird". To hear and see this beautiful songbird has always been my official sign … [Read more...]

The gift of being divine Nature - who is calling you?... Yes, we as human beings are also very much Nature beings, however, for those immersed in urban environments, it's easy to lose perspective of this... Regardless, life is always communicating with us... It guides us every day, reminding us of who we are as individuals and as stewards of this glorious Mother Earth. It reflects back to us all the different aspects that make us who we uniquely are. It assists us by providing answers to … [Read more...]

Nature inspires all areas of my life... Throughout the past four decades, Nature has not only been my greatest teacher, but also my greatest inspiration!... Every aspect of my life is highly influenced by Nature - my work, my clothing, how I adorn myself, how I decorate everything from journals to spaces (even inside my car), places of residence, my environment, my artistic co-creations, my relationships and connections... Nothing I do, am or have, isn't touched by Nature in some way... … [Read more...]

Moments that make "time" stop and emphasize the magick and divinity of life... On the day of my birthday, March 14th, we were driving up and up in elevation through the glorious Yosemite Nat'l Park. We planned to go on a full hike, further than we'd been before in our beloved Mariposa Grove (where so many of the giant tree beings, like Giant Sequoias, Sugar Pines and Redwoods stand majestically throughout the forest)... Red-Tailed Hawk has been a dear power animal of mine since I left my … [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...]

Inner knowing... Within our sacred hearts, we all know our own paths and what's aligned with our unique journeys... It doesn't look like anyone else's and it's not the easiest path to take... However, it's always fulfilling in the most profound ways... Nature teaches us this is no many ways... When we have the courage and determination to do what we know we must, regardless of what that might look like, we create sacred space for ourselves to fully grow into our highest potential … [Read more...]

Sculptures of resilience in Nature... This is one of the many Giant Sequoia tree beings that I encountered high up in Yosemite Nat'l Park at he Mariposa Grove... What struck me about this one, along with many others, was the scarring on its immense body, created with forest fires and self-healing of its bark... The largest of these trees are more than 2,000 years old and on average, it's said that there's a forest fire every 20 years... so imagine how many fires these trees endure and … [Read more...]

An entire grove resides in the palm of my hand!... When I was hiking through the Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park (California, USA), and encountered some of the oldest and largest Tree Beings in the world... I was left in absolute AWE to see how SMALL their pinecones are!!!... I've seen all types of pinecones, and just assumed that they were proportionate to the size of the tree... smaller trees have smaller pinecones and bigger ones produce big pinecones... Well, Nature never … [Read more...]
