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.
Walden Film
Even if this video doesn’t change your life, like it did mine, you’ll be smarter for knowing more about American Literature. But, it’ll probably change your life.
The Fallen Leaves
Should we mourn the loss of the leaves? Or should we celebrate the life of the tree?
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 Haunted Forest
This small footpath leads to my home. We lovingly refer to this area as The Haunted Forest.
The Crossing
Join me on this wonderful journey away from modern life and experience beauty, awe, and adventure that awaits when you are ready to venture…into the woods.
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.
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.
Above The Forest
Join me on this wonderful journey away from modern life and experience beauty, awe, and adventure that awaits when you are ready to venture…into the woods.
Always Open
Humans are great at taking something remarkably simple and twisting it into something unremarkably complicated.
These Boots Were Made For Walking (In Nature)
When you live in the woods, certain gear is essential. Anytime you leave your home, you’re going to be out in nature, and that means having the right footwear is paramount.
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.
Black & White
While being outdoors evokes a desire to capture the spectacular colors of nature, black and white photography allows you to highlight subjects in a different light (pun intended).
Nature’s Wisdom
The forest is our ancient ancestor; it bears witness to our existence, the universe’s wondrous transformation from stardust to stargazer.
Nature Nurtures
Our modern, and often sedentary, lifestyles effectively pull us into a virtual world, away from the present moment, leaving us feeling anxious.
Spring Walks
The weather is warmer, and the days are longer. It’s a great time to get out for evening walks after an early dinner.
