Photos of our February Thaw

by

After a few warm days, our heaps of snow have started to melt. Lots of the snow is looking pretty dirty at this point. We even can see bits of grass under the large pine tree in our front yard, but make no mistake, it’s still 18” high most places. Happily, the dangerous snow on … Read more

More Snow Photos

After breaking records for snow accumulation in January, it’s snowing again now that it’s February too. Everything’s cancelled once more. (The photo above is where our sidewalk meets our driveway; it’s hard to see around to get out on the road!) There are piles of snow higher than our van, and the sidewalk umbrellas have … Read more

Icicle Photos

You gotta love living in the northeast, where we get to hunker down and hibernate for a few months. It makes us appreciate the other seasons so much more!

Reflection is an easier topic to embrace metaphysically, but shadows can be intriguing and revealing too. I rejoice in them partly because it is good light that reveals them. I remember clearly taking each of … Read more

Fish Photos

by

I love how the more spiritually minded one is the more one is open to embrace all the good around them. This fish graced the space that held the conference on spirituality I attended, and set me to musing about how when we subjugate materiality in favor of spirituality, we see more of the radiance … Read more

Happy Halloween

by

Happy Halloween. Today my thirteen year old daughter was a skunk, my sixteen year old son was Jesus, and my eighteen year old daughter for the first time did not dress up, surprised to find it repugnant to be anything other than herself. Me? I wore the beloved orange. All but the top two of … Read more
