I Went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.

Courage
This deer, perfectly evolved to flee danger, displays the courage to stand her ground. Beautiful.
The Gift of Grace
Recognizing grace provides a reprieve from difficult circumstances. It gives us the space we need to rest and recover.

Nature reminds us that, despite our tendency to see negativity everywhere we look, happiness often lies within our reach.
On The Road Again
I had not walked the trails for two weeks, so the first walk was pretty special. We discovered a beautiful turtle beside the creek and a small beaver swimming upstream.
A Doe, A Deer
I suspect we have some new fawns on the way. Read more here.
Brood In The Hood
Spring is in the air, and baby birds and animals are turning up everywhere. Go Spring!
Progress And The Unseen
Nature teaches me to focus on the unseen as I ponder what progress at work looks like.

Our modern, and often sedentary, lifestyles effectively pull us into a virtual world, away from the present moment, leaving us feeling anxious.

New Residents
The property’s newest residents are a pair of Carolina Wrens, which I named Kilo Wren and Wrenfield (to the dismay of our local bats).
The Sky Is Falling
By the time I snapped a photograph, my new friend was already on the move. Can you spot the snake’s tail in the photograph above?
Not The Same River
A forest flows like a river. Its current moves slowly, but its motion is undeniable.
