The lives we didn’t live.

Posted on August 1, 2014 by

The Green Man

Posted on June 12, 2014 by

I spend seconds, minutes, hours, days, watching leaves on our forest trees. Electric early-summer leaves in shades of velvet green and lime green and verdant green. Leaves fluttering. Leaves lying stock-still, not phased by any ruffling wind. Leaves kissed by … Continue reading →

Death by Nazi, yet again.

My enemy

Posted on September 12, 2012 by

Once upon a time I had an enemy.  It’s hard to believe when enemies appear in our lives, isn’t it?  I mean, congenitally don’t-rock-the-boat smiling people shouldn’t have enemies, right? However, in this fairy tale called life we sometimes meet … Continue reading →

Posted on February 7, 2012 by

I awoke this morning after dreaming of pink hummingbirds in snow outside our deck window–dozens upon dozens of them flitting in tropical beauty against our windowpane.  The snow fell softly between their swiftly beating wings. The impossibility of it took … Continue reading →

Dream a little dream for you…

I am thinking and pondering with intense focus this morning. A dangerous thing, especially when you’re trying to meditate and not think. Thinking about yesterday’s post. My love of words, sentences, paragraphs, ideas, scribbling, writing, sharing! About how many of … Continue reading →

No stories today on this blog–only the stories that nature herself shares.  You, of course, may tell your own stories as you gaze at the photos. You may find yourself transported to the south shore of Lake Superior.  You may … Continue reading →

When a dream tells you how to write your blog–and how everything is possible in dreams

Posted on March 31, 2011 by

All I did last night was dream about this blog.  About the above photo, specifically.  About how it was necessary to post this picture in a blog today. Of course–silly dream!–the picture had already been posted.  When we wandered the … Continue reading →
