I Went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.
-henry david thoreau
Those Were The Days
Read what an odd dream taught me about aging, time travel, and living life to its fullest.
The Fallen Leaves
Should we mourn the loss of the leaves? Or should we celebrate the life of the tree?
Solitude Is Not Sickness
Sometimes people are overly social because it helps them evade something negative they experience when they are alone.
Standing In The Rain
Discarding immediate rewards in order to experience some bigger, future gain is still a hard task for many modern humans.
The Gift of Grace
Recognizing grace provides a reprieve from difficult circumstances. It gives us the space we need to rest and recover.
Seeing Clearly
We cannot control every situation, but we should always remember that we can control how we respond.
Trading “What if” for “What Is”
Nature reminds us that, despite our tendency to see negativity everywhere we look, happiness often lies within our reach.
Always Open
Humans are great at taking something remarkably simple and twisting it into something unremarkably complicated.
The Sounds Of Silence
While too much noise pulls or pushes us away from the here and now, complete silence can cause our minds to wander, resulting in rumination that creates the same internal noise we sought to escape.
Progress And The Unseen
Nature teaches me to focus on the unseen as I ponder what progress at work looks like.
Nature Nurtures
Our modern, and often sedentary, lifestyles effectively pull us into a virtual world, away from the present moment, leaving us feeling anxious.
So You Want To Live In The Woods?
While living in the woods can be a wonderful experience, it's important to consider these potential challenges before making the move.
Not The Same River
A forest flows like a river. Its current moves slowly, but its motion is undeniable.
New Discoveries
Join me as I make new discoveries on my journey into the woods. Today, new wildlife and old memories that make a difference.
