Breathing the Same Air

It is said that this time on Earth (heart, a little mixed up) is about community.
Yesterday coming back to town from a day away I noticed smoke over part of the mountain range and what looked like smog hanging over the municipality, which is gratefully a site nor quality of air I ever experience where [...]

This Simple?

I recently acquired an abandoned puppy with a bad case of mange. She was so traumatized by being left that she trembled and couldn’t look at me. Her eyes were hazy, her ribs poked out, she had lost a lot of hair and she had oozing sores with blood and pus. The vet I took [...]

How the Village Celebrates Births and Deaths

Soon he appeared in his white robe with embroidered trim. He asked us to all move back, way back along the path leading into the church. When we’d gone far enough back he told us it was enough. Then he explained why he wanted us where we were.

Life in my indoor-outdoor house: frogs

There is a tenderness growing in me towards the living world. Last time, I wrote about my initiation with the deathdance of a moth.

At that moment I felt I would like to buy it. “What’s the next step?” I asked him. “First, ” he said, “Thank you.” He paused. “The next thing….Think about it.”
Wise man put gratitude first.

The Willow Lesson, Illustrated

You know that analogy about the importance of being flexible (in the face of  change) like a willow tree?
I had a gazebo on my roof, poles secured in buckets of earth.
Three male friends (not blaming men, but I think it is interesting!) very strongly suggested that I secure the poles to screws stuck into the [...]

Sand Mandala Writing

There’s several things I’ve had on my mind to write about.
I could write about how several months back I won a “Best Blog Award” and “Superior Scribbler Award”, by Katherine Jenkins. Here’ what Kathrine said about my blog: “I like this woman’s view on life. You can read about how she gave everything up [...]
