perspective is everything

full moon

Why not become the one who lives with a full moon in each eye

that is always saying,

with that sweet moon language,

what every other eye in this world is dying to hear?

-Hafiz

welcome, 2010

May we all invite and cultivate more love and grace - for ourselves and others - into our life.

I used to hate to hike. Well, more accurately, I used to hate the idea of hiking. I didn't do much of it until a few years ago. I thought it sounded boring. It was just walking, after all. Now, I'm in love with it. I love walking the terrain, looking at rocks, trees, birds, picas, lakes, streams, waterfalls, mountains, greeting the other people on the trail, eating found food (you know, berries, not lost granola bars), and breathing good, clean air. Alone or with friends, I love it. I am a bit sad about the coming of winter, but I will adapt. I bought snowshoes recently and so I will try to keep going even through the snow.
