Three Angry Birds

I often look to nature for symbolism and answers when I am internally conflicted. Internal conflict amounts to confusion, frustration, anger, fog, and a host of other uncertainties that I am not fond of.

“Enlightenment is Imminent” (In the Spirit of the Hawk)

I get to feel out loud when I write. It qualifies what is inside and makes it more real. Accountable, vulnerable, exposed and real. Why not?

On the hike up to this peak at the top of the Bear Mountain trail we were challenged and awed.  One of our games was to find letters in nature that spelled […]

Heart Lake, Lake Placid, NY

The quiet.  Aligned in a grace that overwhelms my senses.  At peace.  With the thought of a nature I may have never known.  A world that exists beyond my awareness, though exists harmoniously, just the same. I feel safe. Taken care of. Trusting my source, if just for the moment.  I pause to feel my existence.  […]
