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...]

The season dances into a new one today!... For those of us in the northern hemisphere, Spring officially arrives today... for those of the southern hemisphere, Autumn officially arrives today... I wish you a wonderful Equinox wherever you are! For me, it felt like Spring arrived on March 3rd when I landed in California and experienced the glorious landscape and wildlife (including the song of robins by day and frogs by night) in the Yosemite Nat'l Park area where I was for 2 glorious … [Read more...]

Magickal New Moon Day to you!... ((( ))) I felt this would be the perfect day to announce that starting Monday, I'm taking the next 2 weeks completely OFF from computers and phones (yes!) and fully immersing myself in Nature at Yosemite Nat'l Park to connect with the pristine forests of Redwoods, Giant Sequoias and other natural wonders there! It's going to be soooo DIVINE!... It's now time for me to fully recharge so I'll be ready for my book's launch. Since I can't give a date yet, I'm … [Read more...]

Love-green orb and northern lights... Ah, the beautiful and mysterious (or not so mysterious) orbs that appear around us, usually visible only through a camera but can also be seen without at times... I don't typically carry my camera with me in Nature, but two days ago I brought it to take a photo of a newly sprouted little leaf I noticed in a trail... I also felt guided to just take 'random' photos of the forest, with no particular focus in mind, so I did... When I looked at my … [Read more...]

Life bursts forth!... Regardless of anything... life always prevails in the most miraculous ways!... and today I was reminded of this once again... During my Nature hike today, it felt SO NICE to not have to wear a scarf around my face, and to experience a day that feels more like Spring than Winter!... As I walked through the snowbound trails, I noticed the most amazing surprise... Despite having experienced the coldest Winter season in 100 years (with incessant storms every few … [Read more...]

Bird love is in the air!... Ahhhh... I so truly love hearing the love songs of Nature! Just these past couple of days, the endearing Black-Capped Chickadees have started singing their mating calls!... These cheerful little birds spend the whole year in central Canada, weathering the most intense cold of winter!... and amazingly, they begin to call out for mates as early as February, still in the middle of winter! Their clear notes that echo on the winter landscape as they sing to … [Read more...]

Absence enhances the experience... It was an overcast day all day... Then just as I stepped outside for a Nature walk, the sun appeared at the horizon below the blanket of clouds and my oh my did it look even more radiant!!!... A blazing orange colour with pink hues... bathing the trees in a golden light... (interestingly, the camera didn't capture the sun's colours) Every experience we perceive with our physical and spiritual senses, as well as our mind and emotions, becomes … [Read more...]

Miracles... When we have an awareness of Nature in a way that we truly see it for what it is... it's apparent that miracles are a natural part of life and not something that manifests once in a while... When we see the divinity in all life, we recognize miracles EVERYWHERE... including in the mirror... Every second of our life we experience and witness miracles, from the subtle to the extraordinary, and every one is just as glorious in its own right... Every blade of grass, every … [Read more...]

Feeling the call... We all have the ability to perceive energies. It's obvious when we enter a room and we immediately feel what the mood is, based on the people present. It's pure energy. The more we fine tune this ability through conscious awareness, the stronger it becomes, and we're able to perceive energies from around the world. Energy has no boundaries. For two decades I've been allowing places to call me to plan my trips and even places of residence. I always know where I must … [Read more...]

Expansion... As the sun's arch slowly becomes wider in the sky, moving more and more towards the north as the winter season advances, I feel its expansion affecting so many... The tree's tight little buds on each branch tip eagerly await just the right temperature and length of daylight to burst open and unfurl their leaves... The germinating seeds within the soil are rousing from their winter's slumber and preparing to push forth towards the sunlight... The chickadees are … [Read more...]
