So many people get into such heated arguments about who's right and who's wrong, because they don't understand that each one of us experiences life differently. A thousand people could watch a symphony outdoors and if you asked each one about their experience, they would all be different. While the music might have captivated everyone, details about the experience would be unique to each … [Read more...]

Luna and Gaia's intimate relationship... Every few days and nights around and on a Full Moon, I feel the energy intensely...

Artists of Nature... With the trees being bare of leaves, the birds' nests that were built in the spring and summer are now clearly visible. During my Nature hike today I noticed this beautifully woven nest hanging 40 feet above me in a tree (most likely the intricate work of a Baltimore Oriole). As I admired it, I was reminded of all the incredible artists of our natural world... to name a few... So many birds are expert weavers for their nests to withstand the weather's elements... … [Read more...]

The air is scented with sunshine and ocean salt... The waves are rolling in and out as a sea turtle basks in the sunshine... … [Read more...]

Sacred teachings... We all learn through observation and experience. As children, our interactions with our environment and others leave the greatest impressions that influence us as adults... I feel blessed to have grown up in the country... my pre-teen years on a dairy farm handed down through generations, and my teen years on a bison ranch. Through family members and Nature, I learned so much, including... The miracles and beauty of all life... The rewards of treating all beings … [Read more...]

Boundless, vibrant energy... We see examples of everything being energy all the time... However, having the opportunity to observe a red squirrel for just a short period is truly entertaining and amazing. It displays seemingly inexhaustible energy! (especially at this time when they're collecting food rations for the upcoming colder months) At any moment it bursts with super-speed, whether through the trees or on the ground... Ultimately, we all receive energy from the same … [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...]
