my bea-u-ti-ful neice who i have yet to meet but send loving thoughts and dreams to. at 8 months i already see a delighted soul who is embracing the world and the need for her to be in it! so glad you are with us!

Last night Minami, from Japan, came to my house to deliver this gift. An enormous painting (nearly 5 feet by 6 feet) that carries its own pulsating life, inspired by her yoga and meditation teacher (that would be me!). I felt so honored! Certainly one of the most beautiful, touching gifts I have ever received. Thank you Minami for your open, artistic expression of life!

The orchids have arrived! These little magical Lady Slippers are peeking up all over the woods. It takes a quiet mind and a soft foot to find them but I know all their secret spots! They are about as tall as a blade of grass and as bright as a shooting star.

Raphael then took me to the greenhouse which he is building with some students. There are concrete beds awaiting fresh soil and our little hands to plant. I imagine fresh summer greens, plump red tomatoes and delicious veggies of all sorts! I will post more when we plant.

the return of me and spring

oh glorious spring! i have waited so long for your arrival. with kid-like enthusiasm i bound through the day, exploring beaches, trails, greeting wildflowers and my new-born neighbors.
my favorite coastal trail is blooming!
a nearby pasture overlooking the sea and not so visible mountains.
