In Celebration of Cameron Powers
Dear friends ~ I want to take a moment to honor a great man who recently left us… We use words like “fearless,” “unapologetic,” and “wholehearted” now and again—Cameron lived under these banners every day.

A Story for the Dark Moon
A Story for the Dark MoonWhen I was in the very beginning of my “spiritual” path, I spent 3 years doing weekly dreamwork. Both of my parents were trained in the art, so I wasn’t a total stranger – but this was the first time I made a practice of writing down my dreams...

On NamingHerein are just a few friends from my walk today...and some words about naming, and knowing the world around us: . . . I love naming things – not so I can check them off a list or file them off in a box somewhere, nor commodify or capitalize off them – but...
My Earth Mama
My Earth MamaIn the age of Covid, I find myself wishing we wouldn’t use this time to get more digital, but rather to get more earthy. I’ve started to wonder: since when, and why, has outdoor and hands-on work fallen so out of fashion, while staring at a screen while...
