Sometimes grief moves in silence, a dark undertow too deep to fathom. Sometimes it is moments of bright grace, and tears that heal. Sometimes it is a screaming howl. Sometimes it’s gratitude. Sometimes rage. Always raw, unwieldy, unexpected ~ a thing to allow,...

As I type this, I have arrived in a very different habitat/ecosystem. My heart aches a bit for the wild forests I have left behind ~ soon to turn to dust and brown, all the while exclaiming one last display of glorious, colorful splendour, and shedding their last...

I’m posting this song today as a prayer for my friends and family currently affected by the fires in Southern California. I think of you every day, sending prayers for safety and sweet air. . . I also pray that in the wake of these fires, we dedicate ourselves...

Even in the rain. We leapt hand in hand, two by twos and threes, sometimes more, sometimes solo. We shared and sang and uttered prayers. Some snuck off under the trees to make love. We played music late into the night. We embraced our aliveness wholeheartedly, unashamed. You all were glorious adventurers ~ thank you for joining me! 👏🏼} If you missed those times, let’s do it again someday! 🍑 #NeverTooOld #NeverTooLate (And in case there was any question, yes, I got naked and barefoot and jumped this fire. Multiple times.) .
