JANUARY - New Year in the Winter Woods



  This long-awaited new year - 2021 - dawns, infused with our most timid hopes and wildest  dreams.



Three hundred sixty five days, 
8,760 possibility-infused hours.


           Christmas Wreath Lichen






























Turkey Tail Fungus
















A hugging tree

  We all offer up our heartfelt hope that we can travel, embrace loved ones, see strangers’ faces, expect health and security, kindness and civility.



Ice forms on a pond



In January

Let your fields lie fallow, for seeds must rest before life returns.  

Pause your busyness to 
                     Dream. Imagine. Plan.

Rest and refill your cup.

  9. Dear Cynthia, thank you . . . and thank you for your Christmas posting. I so need to reach out and try to understand the majority of President Trump's followers--not the White Nationalists and Qanon and anarchists--but those who simply have been caught up in the web of his lies. I need to truly see them in Oneness. And you reminded me of that with your Christmas posting. Thank you again. Peace.
