Noisy birds in the Hollies dozens of them with a familiar sound from childhood Robin Red Breasts feasting in Florida away from the Arctic Air and ice up North, and stopping for a bath! Canadian Robins, a long way from home and probably glad of it, the original "Snow Birds!"... Continue reading

How Are You Doing?

It's that time of year - in a very odd year _ when emotions are raw and memories haunt you. Riding waves of feelings, not knowing where they come from, or why, or how long, you hang on. Storms come and they go, and you hang on. You hang on.... Continue reading

A Change in Perspective...

Simple. A little planet in a grand and glorious galaxy in an unimaginable universe. Our little rock is spinning on its axis, rotating around our star, the sun, which is rotating in the galaxy, which is traveling in the universe, with other galaxies and planets and stars. We've learned so... Continue reading

Driving over the bridge to the beach the other night the sky was strikingly - striped! From West to East - stripes! A pending cold front, I was informed and sure enough - that night was our first cold one - dipping into the 30's. Quite a beautiful, remarkable sight!... Continue reading

Out of nowhere nature paints a rainbow coming out of the horizon and it's just sitting there! I see a guy coming along in the distance, too far to shout out but somehow I get his attention and point to the rainbow and he excitedly gives me a thumbs up!... Continue reading

Here I am surrounded by giant old oak trees, dripping with spanish moss, living with a joyful dog and a handsome cat, while it feels like the world is coming apart at the seams. It is not. The birds still sing. The frogs still croak and slap themselves onto the... Continue reading

Peace of Mind...

An old Spring House in San Miguel, Mexico - a reminder to be grounded - in our friendship with ourselves, with nature, with each other. Grounded in uncertainty, and upheaval, and accepting the times we find ourselves in. Grounded in whatever way you get grounded, for your very own peace... Continue reading

What Comes After...

Collectively it is time that we imagine a better world. No matter what happens in the next months or years, it is time to put our minds on better things. Call it the power of positive thinking, of visualizing, of collective prayer - it all works and can change the... Continue reading
