 Country Learnings


Quiet, rainy days

Kitchen tables, watercolors

Creating art and love together.


Collecting our essences to 

Pour onto canvas for 

Later memory and observation. 


Windy, balmy cabin sleep

Meditating, praying, breath;

Land teaches me.

Starting Point

Starting Point      Every day, I find myself in a loop of sorts. And typically, I notice something that is making me feel uncomfortable. Could be the work I am doing. Could be an ache in my body, maybe it happens when I move my body for work things. And so I make the immediate conclusion that I need to find a better job. And then I start to wonder how I could make more money and not sacrifice my body for it. That's a bit extreme, but ultimately it is not. I want to be healthy and strong. And have fun. And I realize that life is seemingly flying along. I was a child yesterday, and am already a little less than halfway through the traditional trajectory of human existence. Woof.  At this point in my thought pattern, I begin to scramble for fun thoughts I can have. Usually, plans for some movement do the trick. I'll stop what I am doing and do a handstand. Or sit and breathe. Put the tool down and get a drink or have a snack. I have learned to not add criticism to this ...

Clarity Falls

I journey with  a strong back, a soft front, and a wild heart.  Behind me, I am supported,  by earth, past and present understood, cheered on and  adored through and through.  My chest softens as I stand confidently in my ever-expanding provision and care.

To make peace.  With intention and pleasure.  I am a maker of peace. For others ...

Interest: What is my interest?  Well, first I ask myself what my limitations are, and in this current moment, it is that I cannot walk, quickly, or run, acro, or aerial, hike, or drive. Torn ACL and acute swelling and inflammation on my right knee.  I am bedridden.  Awaiting surgery, healing swelling, healing inflammation, icing, elevating, and doing pre-op physical therapy.  My thoughts wander. . .  I miss my dad. he died last year. took his own life. he had bipolar.  slow, like molasses, is how I feel in my energy. wanting to be quick, awake, ready. I feel how my physical body is drawing on all the resources it has to heal. I am giving it all I can to heal as well. Herbal teas, herbal oils with medicine for the swelling, pain, and to heal the damaged tissue within, as well as provide new collagen production for elastic and healthy joints.  The guilt builds when i rest without end. All day for a few weeks now. Here's the justification: Really it's a n...
