Holding On and Letting Go
It was a brisk golden morning for a walk. Not all the leaves have fallen, some are still cheerfully holding on. I began to think about what kind of things are wise to hold on to, and what things are better to let go of. As I write I also think sadly of those we…

Peace Amidst it All
I’ve been meditating on the peacefulness of this tree welcoming fall. Nature has a lot to teach us. The morning news has gotten a little overwhelming. The states of the southeast in America are experiencing unspeakable devastation. The states of the Middle East are increasingly threatening and explosive. The state of politics is constantly twisting…

I Love the Backroads
Butcher Creek, Bear Creek, Bridger Creek, to name just a few. Slowing down for little towns that pass by in a couple of minutes. Ascending high hills to astounding views and descending into ranch land where horses are peacefully grazing. Finding comfort in the back sides of some of the tallest mountains, the Beartooths. Roads…

Days later I took a look at the photo and found a tiny ant traveling through the petals. I was reminded that sometimes the smallest clues yield the biggest revelations.…

Late Summer Rose and Re-arranging Myself
This peachy rose keeps opening wider and wider, reflecting my heartfelt desire to re-arrange my home, my habits, my connections, my selections. As summer began I dismantled the bookshelves, stored lots of books away and created a gallery wall in my little cottage. I purchased canvas prints of Italy, hung my own framed photos and…

Summer Sun
Summer is in full force and bees are busy. There’s no better time than a heat wave to share some thoughts with you. The last few weeks of crystal clear skies, delightful rain storms and temperatures in the 70s and 80s were almost dreamlike. However, just after the July 4th fireworks, the 90s and beyond…
