Assisting Nature
There is a tree along the Marginal Way where the underbrush has been cleared away revealing a bent trunk that looks like the tree may topple at any moment. Someone gave it an assist by providing a brace to hold it upright.

Out of Season
The weathered milkweed seedpod looked out of season in the spring sunshine. Still, there was something about it that caught my eye. It was a piece of Nature’s art. I wondered if anyone else noticed besides me.

Orchard in Spring
There is something about the little orchard we saved twenty years ago from being overrun by the forest that brings a sense of calmness every time I visit. Soon the area will be flooded with the smells of apple blossoms. It is peaceful.

Wild Beauty
My eyes caught the vibrant color of a flowering plant on the side of the orchard road. I paused to photo it and admire its beauty. Nature planted it there, and I am grateful to have been in its presence. All it takes is mindfulness of the moment.

Through the Leaves
The evening sky caught my eye through the new green growth that now shades the big window from the sun. I spent a moment outside with another one of Nature’s sunset spectaculars. My mind slowed down in the stillness.

About fifty years ago my parents gave us a selection of shrubs they had ordered from the back of a Parade Magazine. Several years ago I transplanted a dozen or more forsythia from the original one to create a hedge at the Center. Kindness spreads.

The Lupine are Growing
I have an extra incentive to walk to the Lupine Field this time of year. The plants are growing, and it won’t be long before the landscape will be filled with beautiful flowers. It is proof that dreams are a reality that is manifesting.

Chat With A Bear
My wife heard sounds in front of the house and opened the widow to find a small bear climbing a tree. She spoke to it and the bear paused to listen. Viewing wildlife is amazing as long as one realizes that these creatures are wild.
