Make Room
“When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul
and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.”

Celebrate the World
“Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated.”
~Terry Tempest Williams,

Thunderous Beauty
When we listen and take in the astonishingly sensuous earth, we come awake to the thunderous beauty that surrounds us. We are literally inundated with the world pouring through every opening and in this awareness, we recognize a fundamental truth: we are of the earth.
In fact, as cosmologist Brian Swimme suggests, humans were put on earth to gawk. That is our cosmological destiny! To be astonished, amazed, delighted in the intricate weavings of the cosmos is to listen fully and to send out our sigh of appreciation is what is asked in return.

Snowy Love
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.’”
~Lewis Carroll

Tree Love
‘To the great tree-loving fraternity we belong. We love trees with universal and unfeigned love, and all things that do grow under them or around them
— the whole leaf and root tribe.’
~Henry Ward Beecher
