Over the river and through the woods, we are heading back to Portland early in the morning. We are packing and loading earlier than usual because it is due to start raining within the hour. I took this sunset photo last night. Sunrise and sunset, so many of these we have witnessed in the last [...]

We have been in Mendocino for over a week now, and I have spent most of my time here in my little house in the back with the heater on, sewing away the hours. I awakened this morning to freezing temperatures, so cold that all the rooftops were covered with a heavy frost. I still [...]
A Sense of Place

I have decided to share a little more of my life instead of my silence. Swirling around in my mind are thoughts both bold and confusing, but lately thoughts that swing further back and settle into the center of my life as messages of wider influence than I originally had imagined. Today I went on [...]
Being

The power of being. A love affair that stays and nurtures.
Appreciation

I appreciate all the comments that you have left here. If only we could take a walk together and settle down to the quiet of the moment. I hope to be back soon, and will visit other blogs but probably not leave comments for now. I am here but feeling spent for the moment. Maybe [...]
An Absence
Posted in Places, Ruminating, Seasons, Slow Living on November 7, 2010 | 10 Comments »
I am on a path these days that calls for absence and quiet and more solitude. I have been trying to be active here, but it is not coming to me in a natural, comforting way. I think sometimes in life there is a call for other ways of expression, other paths that are unknown [...]
My Other Life

This photo was taken over three years ago, but represents so much about me that I do not share in this space. Why? I am not altogether sure, but my guess is that I fear criticism for my choice as well as my passion. However, I am reminded of this consciousness and caring for animals, [...]
Miles and Miles

I drove 750 miles today and have about 380 miles more to go tomorrow, and I will be back in Portland again with my three kitties and husband. It should be rainy and feeling a little like fall. I am ready to get the house and garden ready for cold weather. But where did I [...]
I will be home soon. Just relishing the moments that pass all too quickly. I want to freeze a few of these moments in time just so I can return to them and remember how sweet and nourishing they were as I move more slowly into the other world of aging and transition.
In motion again

Off to Southern California from Mendocino tomorrow morning to see family. I will be posting at least once or twice while I am gone. On our way down, we stopped in Redding for one night, south of Mt Shasta, and I went into an antique shop that had the most wonderful garden area in the [...]
