inSpirations and inSights on my pebbled garden path…
Seeing these rounded hay bales in expansive green fields began to stir something deep within a few years ago that felt strangely comforting. I hadn't observed this prior to practicing Qigong where I first felt a gentle, circular energy flowing between my hands. The movements soon enriched my gardening activities and evolved my thinking about …
It's an off season but natural in its own right. There's no familiar summer, winter, spring or fall anymore except for dates on a calendar. Can we explain it away, simply say the weather is as diverse as people, places, life --- that to live, to be alive, is to change? Reduce. Recycle. Reuse they …
