I was nine years old when I first visited Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite, and something about that place captured my heart. Surrounded by towering granite peaks, open meadows, and the quiet majesty of the mountains, I felt an overwhelming sense of belonging. It wasn’t simply that I thought the landscape was beautiful. There was something

There’s a warm wind blowing tonight in my part of the world. I stood outside in the dark, knowing that the leaves from our many fruit trees would be filling my meditation pond. Not so pretty at the moment, and certainly extra work for my Friday, but simply part of what is. The practical mechanics

When making decisions, it’s a powerful practice to be led by love, joy, or enthusiasm.

“To be great is to be misunderstood.”~Ralph Waldo Emerson~ There is something wonderfully liberating about reaching a place in life where being true to yourself becomes more important than being understood by others.
