The earth has saved me. -
Time and time again.
-
And Led Zeppelin.
-
It’s no coincidence their lead singer goes by the last name of “Plant.”
🌿
The no-nonsense acceptance of nature has calmed me, grounded me, caught my tears, celebrated in my joys, and has offered nothing more and nothing less, than just being her god damn magical powerful Self. I make her into an entity, a being. Making her into one big blob of an entity doesn’t do her justice. She is all of us. Every plant, every animal, every human animal, every rock and speck of dirt, every breath we breathe. She is us, and we are her.
-
Thank you Earth, for providing resources for our entire species and everything upon your glorious skin. -
Thank you. -
Eternally grateful, -
just another human living on you.

“If you wound the tree in its youth the bark will quickly cover the gash; but when the tree is very old, peeling the bark off, and looking carefully, you will see the scar there still. All that is buried is not dead.” - Olive Schreiner

“Love is to bear and endure oneself. It begins with this. It is truly about you; you are not yet tempered. Other fires must yet come over you until you have accepted your solitude and learned to love.” - Carl Jung ‘Red Book’

The world around me seems to have slowed to a snail’s pace. In the liminal space - the time between “what was” and “what’s next” is where transformation happens. The key is to lean into the stillness, lean into the unknown, and allow the cycle of waiting to shape what’s next.

Hey there! I love you.
Even if we’ve never met, I love you.
Even if we’ve known each other for years, I love you.
Even if you don’t love yourself, I love you.
Even if you don’t love me back, I love you.
Even if this feels uncomfortable, I love you.
Even if you think you’ve done “bad things,” I love you anyway.
Even if your love cup already runneth over, I’ll add some more.
Even if you don’t think this message is for you, it is.

The last memories of winter are thawing. Birds have returned from wherever they call their winter home, singing their songs from the recording studio of the sky. They alight on tree branches for awhile and then, after lift-off, the skies are filled with plumes of yellow pollen as feathered wings disperse the tiny grains across the landscape.

Find something teeny tiny and spend 3 minutes getting to know it. What does it look like up close? What do you notice about it?
👀
I noticed how this wee ball of moss is made up of many minuscule green spike petals. I noticed how desperately I wanted to remove the string of lichen stretched across it, and decided to leave it be. There it was, a ball of moss, teaching me to accept things as they are. Notice, and feel, and observe, and accept.

The bridges are empty,
the sky is blue.
...
I’m wearing a mask,
This feels weird to you, too?
...
The birds are singing,
New buds sprouting green.
...
The whole world is changing,
By forces unseen.

Find the hidden joy...this tree looks like a mermaid! Or some whimsical tree spirit. Or with a little stretch of the imagination, perhaps the letter “J”... 🧐

Check out my feed to see the hidden JOY that can be found in Nature. Trees and pine cones and the letters J-O-Y, oh my! 😉

Let there be hidden joy that emerges throughout your day! 💛

Finding the hidden joy...the symmetry of a pine cone, the sacred geometry of its spiraling pattern. It grows without thinking. It’s just being a pine cone out in the world.
🌲
It reflects back to me my own journey of growth, like a spiral lifting me up through cycles of transformation, revealing more and more each time it comes around. Finding joy in the transformation. Finding joy in the healing. Finding joy in the process. Finding joy within myself. Finding joy in nature. Finding joy in the Work.

Finding the hidden joys everywhere I look, the uncertainties that make life a big adventure. Should I go left, or should I go right? Which path will take me where I want to go? As George Harrison said, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.”

I know Instagram photos are supposed to be picture-perfect, and this one is kinda fuzzy, but so are these cattails! Check this out...the afternoon sun was glowing, and I mean GLOWING through the outer fluff of these cattails, and I was utterly mesmerized by their golden glow. I walked through a marshy bog, balanced on rotten logs across a frozen pond, sunlight blinding me, and wind blowing in every direction. Cattail fluff was flying through the sky, and I imagined being that person who drops their phone into a bog while trying to take the perfect pic.
🤦‍♀️
Spoiler alert: I didn't fall into the bog of eternal stench, but I might have if David Bowie were still the Goblin King.

When was the last time you got curious in nature? 🤔
Who lives here? Are they home now? What would happen if I stuck my hand in there? 👋

(I didn’t! What if there was a shark in there???)

Clusters of like-minded individuals, coming together in a vast network of connection. I’m reminded of how important community is, always. Life would be bland without the characters that dance across the chapters of our lives.

Stop.
...
Take a deep breath.
...
Take a moment out of your day to look at something in a different way.
...
Take a deeper look at the bark of that tree you always pass.
...
Graze your hand across its surface. What texture is it? Is there a warmth or a coolness to it?
...
Inspect the leaves of your houseplant.
...
What colors are they? What textures are they? ...
Turn off your mind and listen. Are there birds chirping? Is the wind blowing? Are you inside your car, your house? What noises surround you?

Hello tiny friend. How do you communicate? Underground, quietly, using a system of chemical messages? Your pop of presence is so subtle, yet your network is vast, and I have the feeling you are part of something so much greater, so complex, so interconnected, across so many species. I wonder, if I took just one moment to ask, “What can I learn from you?”

I noticed the rumbling, long before my eyes caught sight of her. The earth shook subtlety, as innumerable water molecules crashed into each other and down down down upon the rocks below.
⛰
I noticed the scent of plants and mosses and trees drenched in mist.
🌿
I noticed how little sound I could hear over the rumbling waterfall. The chirps and calls of the birds were lost in the forest, no match against the mighty flow.

I drove and I drove and I drove.
I didn’t know where I was going, I just needed to drive.
🏔
Dead ends, unexpected curves, I kept winding my way to the unknown. When the mountains loomed before me, I knew I’d arrived.
🏔
I walked and I walked and I walked.
Snow, sage, pawprints, bootprints. Turning once again toward the mountains, leaving the trail behind. No footprints, no other humans, I kept winding my way to the unknown. 🏔
At every turn the view changed, a window into the soulscape of nature.

“Time is a keyhole, he thought as he looked up at the stars. Yes, I think so. We sometimes bend and peer through it. And the wind we feel on our cheeks when we do - the wind that blows through the keyhole - is the breath of all the living universe.”
Stephen King

“On the empty mountains no one can be seen,
🎴
But human voices are heard to resound.
🎴
The reflected sunlight pierces the deep forest,
🎴
And falls again upon the mossy ground.”

I inhale deeply, sage drifting into my lungs. Walking past a miniature cave...I am compelled to stop and investigate. This tiny heart-shaped niche is a stage, for art, for something beautiful. I add miniature rocks, a secret surprise for anyone walking by. Breathe deep...look down...peek inside.

“My dear, In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that…In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.” -Albert Camus

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” Pablo Neruda

I giggle as each dog bounds across the snowy trail.
Relishing in my own joy. I get to greet each one, tell it to enjoy the fresh air, the cold upon their paws, chomping on mouthfuls of snow. ❄️🐾🐕
Take a deep breath in, close your eyes, feel the crispness of the winter air invigorate your nostrils.
Open your eyes.
See the shadows on the snow.

From one moment to the next, the scene changed as the fog cleared. A pine forest emerged, towering high above the mossy trees. A bald eagle perched on the bough of a nearby tree. The peaceful silence of fog and pines.

The tides are shifting. I can feel the change, the magic, the transformation. Sometimes everything needs to fall apart in order to reveal the great mystery, the wisdom, the inherent strength, the bravery that sparks giant leaps of faith. Moving forward in a state of surrender and trust, we walk forward into the beauty of the unknown, ready for what’s next.

There is something about looking at the tops of trees. Or the sky. The clouds. A bird darting across the horizon.

I so often catch myself looking where I walk, or at others, or whatever’s at eye-level. Then I remember to look up, and it never disappoints.
