Sky
Leaving before the sun rises, the quiet comforts me. This time is my favorite time of day. The midst on the hills rises and dances. There is a fawn peeping out of the tree line. I made coffee to take with me. The coffee is hot in its holder, fragrant. The twists and turns of…

Transmute
Tonight I walked to the meadow and was surprised to see that there were seven deer there. They looked at me, unafraid and curious. The dog was on his lead and pulled to see them. We interrupted their meeting. The dog and I stood still to watch them at the edge of the meadow. They…

Standing in Gratitude

Grateful
The Italian lady puts a platter in front of me. It’s enough food for 6 people. Here you go she says and smiles at me. She is tiny and thin and her apron hangs crooked on her. Her eyes are deep brown and kind. She touches my shoulder and says enjoy. The food is steaming…

Sit still
We were taught to be quiet when we were children, to listen. Somehow the world worked to change us. As an adult, I had to go back and find myself and reclaim that identity. I learned to be quiet again, to understand the power of silence and stillness again. A crow watches the birds at…

New Year
Winter is a season of rest, reflection and time at home with loved ones. To welcome the new year I discard, pass on or donate any clutter or unused objects in the house. It’s a reminder to keep life simple. The weather has been warm and the lake is not frozen. The ice fishers turned…
