Deep into the woods now
THIS POST is written amidst the intense heat that now defines summer in Canada. I say that with some grief, I won’t lie. As the reality of environmental devastation unfolds, I’m awakening to a new depth of love for the natural world not previously imagined.

“The only way out is through”
Dear blessed community,Its been a long time since writing a post of any kind.

Fleeting time and long-lost friends
Today I reconnected with a friend I have not been in contact with for 30 years. 30 years! It seems such a long time, and yet, its passage seems instantaneous when viewed from a distant vantage point.
