"I thank You God for most this amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes"
--e.e. cummings
I am a writer, artist, gardener and wounded healer with a special interest in the natural world, the re-enchantment of design, and healthy, fabulous food. My home is my garden and workshop, and I use my travels as inspiration. I enjoy stepping off the beaten path to discover the unexpected and to re-connect with the awesome power of Nature to rejuvenate my soul.

Nice slippers.
Last spring, on a miserable rainy day, I was really, really depressed heading to work at my job in the city, when something made me look in the woods. The incredible lift these slippers gave me that day will be an experience I will always think of whenever I see them. The beauty of nature is very powerful.
What wonderful plants you have in your woods. Especially the Cyprepediums. I think our nearby woods only have mayapples and maybe a jack-in-the-pulpit or two.
Hey Ki, you never know. I'm always surprised by my woods! And it doesn't matter what the season when I wander around. I'm always sure to find something interesting to look at.
